Explore the beauty of color pencils and learn to layer, blend, and build depth in your drawings. Designed for both beginning and intermediate artists who seek a stronger technical foundation in color pencils, the course will help you develop skills in pressure control, optical color mixing, burnishing, and the creation of luminous surfaces.
The instructor will provide guided demonstrations that are paired with hands-on studies focused on texture, value, and realism, offering unique insight into how and why different materials perform the way they do. He will discuss pigment quality, lightfastness, and surface selection. By the end of this course you will have completed refined studies and will demonstrate a stronger ability to create depth, texture, and vibrant color with intent.
