“Drawing in Color” approaches the topic of enjoying and producing art using techniques, using pencil, pen, graphite and watercolor pencil. The classes will present practical techniques to produce quality, color artwork for all levels of artistic talent – or even those with none at all! Lessons will combine hands-on technique with informational videos and slideshows. Students can expect one-on-one instruction as part of the course.
About the classes:
- The first lecture is an introduction/review of drawing and rendering techniques introduced in the first course of this progressive series (last fall). Those returning will be given refresher exercises. Newcomers will learn our quick and easy starting procedures.
- The second lecture will introduce the use of new materials (i.e., watercolor paper, watercolor pencils, graphite, and more), and lessons to begin your use of them.
- The third lecture will begin individual projects. Subject matter will be chosen by the students and reviewed by the instructor. Each proposed project will be evaluated individually, and specific tips and instructions will be provided.
- The fourth lecture will check the progress of each project, introduce advanced techniques and materials.
- The fifth lecture will be an enhanced version of the fourth with advanced instruction in finishing and preparing for presentation.
- The sixth and final lecture will be a brief review of the artistic journey, an open review of each student’s project and a discussion as to courses to follow.
Other techniques will be introduced, (acrylic painting, watercolor, field expeditions, etc.). The syllabus for a future series of classes will be discussed. A review of the series will be concluded with a group discussion and display.
