Art on Saturdays: Coloured Pencil Workshop with Karen Brown

This is a technique-based workshop suitable for beginner and intermediate coloured pencil artists who want to improve their current skill level. Using elements from nature and a hands-on approach, Karen will take you through the techniques she uses to produce her realistic colour drawings.  Sharing her tips and skills, you will develop the beginnings of your own reference guide to assist with your coloured pencil drawings - including colour selection, blending, layering, mark making and more. Discussions will also include ways to begin a drawing, differences in paper and how to analyse your own progress. All materials are provided, including subject matter. Please bring lunch, snacks and a drink.
