ONLINE: In this online class, students will use colored pencils and pastel pencils to create a still life composition. To capture the texture and shine of the threaded spools and thimbles, we will focus on the use of colored pencils, as these allow for a fine gradation of color and precise control. Techniques such as layering and burnishing are essential. Starting with light, broad strokes and gradually building intensity allows the depth of colors to emerge using various pencil techniques. Careful study of the thread’s twisting patterns and the reflective surfaces of thimbles can inspire a detailed approach to rendering these details. Join us for this intensive class - geared toward intermediate/advanced participants. | Active Skill Learning.
