Returning for the 4th year in 2012
Students will come away with a better understanding of how to use the unique properties of colored pencil to bring their work to a new level. Methods such as how to do under paintings with water soluble ink pencils will be employed to make the process faster. Cecile will guide the students step by step through each process. Her easy going manner and positive critiquing methods make class fun and relaxing. Cecile will provide project references and UArt Sandpaper samples for the class. All other supplies can be purchased online at dickblick.com. Even though reference material for the projects will be supplied by Cecile, students are encouraged to bring their digital cameras to capture these class still life set up demonstrations for their own use.

Learn to use dramatic lighting, strong values and bold color to turn the most ordinary of subjects into works of art. Create luminous works that make people say - "I can't believe that is colored pencil!" The class will concentrate on still life. Since many people seem to be intimidated by lighting, Cecile will demonstrate how easy it is to add drama to any still life while also working with set up, composition, lighting, color and technique. You will learn how to analyze a reference and determine which colors to use. You will learn to use complementary colors, layering and burnishing to create the rich smooth look of oils with colored pencil. Cecile will share her secrets to creating deep rich darks and brilliant luminous color.
