Colored Pencil, Portraiture, and Beyond is a class that pushes the boundaries of traditional drawing. Students can expect to learn colored pencil techniques and to develop and utilize traditional rendering skills. The class begins by creating compositions using collage methods – this collage is then used as a reference image for the final drawings. Students should bring an image or images they would like to use for a portrait. Additionally, this course will delve into finding and curating inspiration and discuss philosophies of artmaking and culture.
Who is this class for?: Students should have some drawing experience but those new to working with color are welcome to join.
What you can expect:
- Push knowledge and understanding of colored pencil
- Work from a self-created reference image
- Create a minimum of one finished artwork
- Explore new methods and materials

Old magazines to cut and collage
