Description: Have you ever finished a colored pencil drawing and felt that something was flat, even though the colors were right? The answer is almost always value!! (Hint: value relationships matter more than exact color selection, and once you can see them, your drawings will start to look solid.) Over six weeks, we will build the skills that give a subject weight and light: controlling value in pale subjects, building form, and rendering both transparent and opaque surfaces. Every class begins with a demonstration and moves straight into practice on paper, so new skills go from instruction into your drawing before you leave. No prior experience is required (I will bring everyone up to speed each week!), and experienced colored pencil artists will find plenty to sharpen! You will leave with a working method for building form in colored pencil that you can apply to anything you draw.
