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.
