If you’ve ever found yourself struggling to create realistic looking drawings with colored pencils, or maybe you’re completely new to the media and looking for some tips to get started, this beginner’s course is here to steer you in the right direction.

By understanding the materials used and the basic techniques for color pencil art, I believe anyone can approach this exciting and flexible media and create amazing pieces they can be proud of.

In this class, I will show you:

• The basic materials every colored pencil artist needs
• The fundamental techniques I use in every drawing
• An easy to follow process from beginning to end
• How to create accurate sketches and transform them into finished drawings

My class is designed with the beginner in mind, so technical terms are broken down and explained. Once we’ve practiced the techniques, we’ll apply to them to an actual realistic drawing as the class project with a vibrant red apple. But remember: The skills learned in this class can be carried forward to just about any colored pencil drawing!
