Introduction to Watercolor Pencil, Melissa Miller Nece

Melissa Miller Nece B-A
Saturdays 10:00-4:00

Curious to try watercolor pencils but reluctant to buy them first? All the pencils are provided for use in class – and you’ll learn the many techniques that work with them. Paper is also provided; you only need to bring some brushes, maybe a drawing board and tape to secure the projects.

Water-soluble colored pencils combine the precision and control of pencil drawing with the fluid possibilities of watercolor paint. Have fun exploring the many ways these versatile drawing tools can be used – wet or dry, alone or for mixed media. Great for artists’ journals and plein air work, for sketching or for serious artwork, and they mix well with pen and ink and traditional watercolor. Derwent, leading makers and innovators in this fine art medium, supplies the various pencils used in this class.

After the 1st sample, students will create their own artwork of the subject.
