In this class you’ll be using watercolor washes, water soluble pencils, and wax based colored pencils to expand your style. Washes let you to cover larger areas quickly, and the wax-based colored pencils and water soluble pencils allow you to show more expressive line work. Working in a series gives you the opportunity to experiment with different views, compositions and ways of working with the materials. You will get to know your subjects intimately and have more options about how you choose to represent them. We will start our process with exercises to help you get familiar with the materials. All experience levels welcome. Our class will be on Zoom, a video chat software that is really easy to use. Just download the app on your device (desktop computer, laptop, or tablet).
