Colored pencil can be used to create amazing works of art. It is readily available, doesn’t require a lot of set up, clean up, or even water. Precise application is a main characteristic, making it very easy to control. Used with other media, and/or surfaces, a variety of interesting and beautiful effects can be achieved and the amount
Colored pencil can also be used to create gorgeous calligraphic works, either alone or combined with other media to enhance design elements and add just the right amount of color exactly where you want it… and, best of all, it doesn’t bleed!
By completing a series of basic technique exercises, you will learn how to use colored pencil or hone your existing skills. We will touch on color theory, values, and color mixing, and then use these techniques to blend with calligraphy, both in making the letters themselves and by adding illustrations utilizing colored pencils. Other media and surfaces will be discussed and demonstrated, and some will be used in class to open up exciting possibilities and stir your creativity resulting in new applications and ideas.
