Anyone for pencils ? June 2nd Workshop 2010
Last Wednesday we had a really great coloured pencil workshop.
I covered an Introduction to Coloured Pencils, which means my participants got to colour in a bunch of boxes and circles. – hehehe
In this introduction workshop I try to cover important things when starting out in coloured pencil art covering things like paper, pencils other coloured pencil artists going onto things like strokes, blending techniques, mixing colours etc. Participants don’t walk away with a completed piece but i hope they come away with some ideas and new ways of working and a understanding about how coloured pencil artworks come together.
It was really good, i had a great time, i am really enjoying the teaching process in these workshops, and its so exciting for me to see other artists getting excited by all they could create with their pencils.
In the next workshop which will be on the 16th June, Â I hope to get into some of the more advanced techniques maybe getting students to work on a section of a picture to get a feel for mixing colours, planning an artwork, perhaps getting to experiment with some other supports.
