"Drawing Inspiration from Nature with Watercolor Pencil"
April 4-5, 2025
Valparaiso, IN
 
Water soluble drawing pencils combine the control of drawing with watercolor's fluid grace. Neatly packaged within a highly-pigmented point, this medium offers an abundance of possibilities. From light, transparent color to fluid rich, dense, saturated effects, the watercolor pencil truly delivers. Apply the pigment as a dry drawing, then dissolve with a damp brush. Grate, spatter, even blow the pigmented wash for unique, dramatic effects. Kristy, an author and experienced workshop instructor, provides numerous demonstrations on various compatible surfaces, with plenty of supportive individual attention. The class will also receive a generous supply of sample products. With delicious lunches included, this promises to be an enjoyable workshop in a peaceful country setting!
