Colored Pencil Workshop with Ernie Norcia

For those wishing to work in a medium that allows for images containing precise detail as well as ample latitude for personal expression, this workshop is for you. Whatever image category, still life, landscape, figurative, fantasy, etc., this workshop will offer you a new outlook on what is possible.

Working from photographs, we will explore the process of developing articulate images with colored pencils. We will begin with a demonstration of the process, explaining the materials involved, how to select good raw images (photographs in this case) to work from, then manipulate and shape them through pencil & ink drawing, watercolor and colored pencil into meaningful pieces of art.

Materials:

Colored pencils (Prismacolor or Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencils), illustration board or Bristol surface paper, painters' tape, watercolor, black or brown waterproof ink, & #2 graphite pencil. Other materials will be provided by the instructor.
