Grab your colored pencils to learn some low-tech, high-impact techniques. Grab your colored pencils to learn some low-tech, high-impact techniques. 

Week 1 is the introductory class. We'll go over some very basic techniques like blending, layering, and burnishing along with a quick rundown of color theory.

Week 2 will cover how to do a color study and then you will complete a simple guided colored pencil drawing together.

In week 3 we will be drawing eyes! Have no fear -- eyes may be tricky but we'll help. You can pick the eye you want to draw and we will walk you through basic color selection and rendering. By this class you'll have a realistic eye drawing to show off, and a deeper understanding of the process.

In week 4 we will tackle drawing a portrait with colored pencils as a grand finale to the class. We've reviewed basic techniques, color theory, and how to break down an image and this is where it all comes together.
