Join us for a drawing class with Wanda Taylor, who will guide the class in developing colored pencil techniques used for drawing animals. This class will focus on cats & owls! Bring a reference of your favorite cat or owl to work on.
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. 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.
