Colored Pencil Happy Hour

  • Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art 2818 Frederick Avenue Saint Joseph, MO, 64506 United States (map)

The perfect way to try something new!

With 20+ years of experience in colored pencil, Wanda’s techniques include composition, use of complementary color, creating texture on the page, blending, and personal style. Guided lessons are available, or bring your own references. Wanda will walk you through the process step-by-step, layer by layer, as you learn her methods in colored pencil. All skill levels welcome. Join us every week or just when you can.

A cash bar will be available to purchase refreshments during the class.

If you would like to join the class from the comfort of your home, a Zoom option is now available.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Thursday evenings from May 2 - June 6, 2024
5:30 – 7:30 pm
$195 for all 6 or $35 per class

Supply List

  • Paper: Colored pencil sketchbooks are great for beginners, but you will be happier with a heavy drawing paper like Stathmore 400 or smooth watercolor/mixed media paper.

  • Eraser: white plastic or kneaded

  • Pencil sharpener.

 

Optional Supplies:

  • If you want to invest in a high-end paper get Clairefontaine Pastelmat. It comes in a variety of colors and can hold many layers of colored pencil.
