Colored Pencil Class, October and November, 2019

Join Kate at the brewery for an Art and Ale class!  Learn how to make beautiful drawings using
colored pencil.  Kate will show students how to use values to create form, and to layer, color mix,
and blend the colored pencils.  Kate will demonstrate techniques step by step with work time

students.

Supply List

Colored Pencils - I use Prismacolor.  Other artist quality brands will work if you already have them. 
The set of 72 Prismacolor colored pencils online are usually the least expensive at Cheap Joe’s, Dick Blick,
Jerry's Artarama, Walmart, or Amazon. Look for sales.  Optional - If you decide to order pencils online I
suggest also ordering an extra White pencil or two and a Pomegranate, Scarlet Lake, and Black Grape
from Open Stock. 

Sharpener - Another thing you might want to get is a battery powered pencil sharpener with a stainless
steel helical blade.  It makes life easier, but is optional. 
I use a battery sharpener like this for classes -

Or  

Helical blade -
OR you can use a small hand held blade sharpener - 


Lifting, erasing, blending - I also use pencil top erasers and stik tak/adhesive
putty/poster putty/mounting putty for erasing, lifting and shading.  I use a drawing stump
for blending.  

         


Surfaces/Papers - I will sell the papers we use to you at my cost.  I do this because many of the
papers are in pads of 25 sheets or cut from a large sheet of 32" x 40".  It makes it less expensive for
you. The cost for paper this session is $1.75. You can add that to your payment in cash or check to
your class fee.

Transfer paper, Tape, Pencil - Depending on the surface, drawings are transferred using
white transfer or graphite paper.  You can get individual sheets of graphite and white.  I will have
some sheets for shared student use in class.  Bring some tape and a pencil as well.
