Colored Pencil on Toned Paper
For this class with Priscilla Humay, drawing skills are encouraged yet your individual drawing style is valued whether in a loose or more classic manner. You will focus on exploring values and color and learn to distinguish the range of values in color by layering to define textures and intensity.
The tone of the paper itself is the ground base and is the starting “middle ground” value. Drawing is done from this “middle ground” value up to the darks and from the “middle ground” to the lights.
Through the use of the colored pencil medium on professional grade paper, students will work to achieve a near likeness of their specimen. The colored pencil medium has brilliant color, and can produce fine details. The instructor chose this medium because it is forgiving and can be lifted and reapplied. Mistakes can be rubbed away and colors can be layered vibrantly.
The instructor will provide Stonehenge Kraft Toned Paper 9” x 12”, optional reference photo, class use of colored pencils, papers, tape, fixative. Students are responsible for supplies.
Class tuition is $45 for OMAM members, $50 for future members.
