Dianna Soisson
"A Journey in
Color Pencil"


    
July 14th -15th 

This workshop will take students on a journey into the exciting and growing world of color pencil. Students will discover this media to be very calming and meditative.

There will be plenty of demonstrations, techniques, worksheets, one-on-one assistance, discussions, and critiques. Emphasis will be on color blending and color theory and applied to a sample drawing on the first day. We will then use our knowledge of the color pencil and apply it to a transferred drawing taken from one of the photos brought in.
