The specific technique you will learn is a layering of pencil applied with light pressure, creating color intensity and a means to add minute detail. With intense color on a dark background the image (of your choice) punches and acts as a magnet for a viewer. We’ll review contemporary pencil artists and what good composition is, you’ll do an exercise sheet with multiple stroke application techniques, and begin a customized artwork of your own subject in your own composition, and you’ll be able to work at your own pace in class, finishing the piece on your own beyond the class timeframe.
