One Day Workshops

Relax with Coloured Pencil...Bev Fish
Coloured pencils are a wonderful and exciting medium to use. You can create gorgeous drawings and there is little mess or clean up involved. We'll work with two types of surfaces - Stonehenge paper and vellum. You'll experience two different types of drawings during our time together. This class is fun, relaxing and you'll pick up many pointers along the way. If your drawing skills are rusty, you may use a tracing sheet so your time is focused on learning colour blending.
