This colored pencil workshop guides students from concept to finished drawing. We explore ideation and visual research, develop strong compositions through sketch mapping, and apply color theory to create depth and harmony with layered pencil techniques. Students practice rendering realistic objects, plants, animals, and human figures with attention to light, texture, and fine detail.
