Introduction to Colored Pencil
Learn techniques for using colored pencil, both wax and watercolor, to add dimension and character to your drawing.
Work with various kinds of colored pencils on different kinds of paper.
You can bring supplies you already have, but don’t go out and buy anything until you’ve experienced at least the first class. You're encouraged to bring photos and other source material that you’d like to mimic.
You'll spend one session on wax-based pencils, another on watercolor pencils, and the last one focused on mixed media techniques and guided practice.

Instructor
Michael comes to BARN with 50 years' experience teaching art. He started teaching painting and drawing in Southern California in the early '70s and his last public school position was as lead teacher and administrator in charge of creating a small public high school in central California. After teaching multiple elective subjects, he always had his love of drawing and painting as his security blanket. Adventures led him to Canada and San Diego where he was active in drawing groups and watercolor societies. His move to Bainbridge introduced him to BARN where he served in a leadership role in the Woodworking Studio. Four years ago, the sketchbook called and he formed regular drop-in drawing sessions in BARN's Commons. This interest has, in turn, led to his active participation in BARN’s Drawing & Painting Studio. His main interest remains with the refinement of his drawing skills, and the drawing skills of others.
