			Positively Beautiful: Solutions for Negative Space and More April 24, 2010 (10:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.) — Explore the possibilities that can be drawn from the point of a colored pencil, including some surprisingly easy techniques for beautiful backgrounds. With choices of surfaces, blending tools, and techniques, colored pencils can yield a tremendous range of effects. Shimmer and shine? Soft glow or dazzling highlights? Saturated intensity? Fluid, transparent effects? Earthy and textured- or even delicate and wispy? Kristy, an experienced instructor, will explore such possibilities, yielding a surprising range of effects. This promises to be an enjoyable day in an outstanding state-of-the art store with a gracious, helpful staff. Experiment with a wide array of materials- including some new products. (There will be generous take-home samples). Come and explore the ever-expanding range of the colored pencil!

			Whet Your Appetite for Watercolor Pencils! April 25, 2010 (10:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.) — Watersoluble drawing materials offer a "bridge" between the control of drawing and watercolor's fluid grace. This medium offers an abundance of possibilities- neatly packaged within a highly-pigmented point. Do you want color which is light, fluid, and transparent- or perhaps rich, dense, and saturated? Consider an airbrush-like background effect, done with inexpensive supplies. How about underpainting, resulting in "veils" of vibrant color? Expanding the range of this medium, watersoluble crayons are richly-pigmented, easy to apply, and fun. Kristy will present tips and techniques for watersoluble pencil/crayon effects, as well as generous samples. She will also present two unique types of pencils, aquarelle colored graphite pencils and vibrant watersoluble ink pencils. Come and be surprised, intrigued, and inspired!
