In this three-session workshop students explore the rich, versatile medium of colored pencil, working on small nature studies from the diverse collection at the Smithsonian Institution's Naturalist Center, located in Leesburg, Virginia. Try your hand at a sketching technique that allows those who are just beginning to explore color to create three-dimensional images with ease.
Students benefit from individual instruction and group discussion.
Students must have completed a beginning drawing course. Both advanced students and those new to the colored-pencil medium are welcome. A list of supplies to purchase is mailed prior to the first day of class. Instructor Merri Nelson , a member of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators, is an exhibiting artist and instructor specializing in realist drawing and painting techniques. Online Registration for this event is closed.
