Monday 15 – Friday 19 January 2024
This workshop is about spending time totally focused on the exciting possibilities of using coloured pencil, not as a quick sketch, but as a formal medium for finished work. Coloured pencil can be applied to paper in a way that makes it appear to be a painting. It is often used in scientific illustration and as exhibition quality art. Subtle textures and layering will be explained, and the tools and papers used to achieve different effects. The exercises will use moths and autumn leaves to learn this method. This is an opportunity to apply these techniques to an image of your choice after you have gained some experience doing the tasks. ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME
