The Colored Pencil Society of America

 
If you have wished you could paint with your pencils, this is your chance to experience that feeling of freedom on a fast and efficient surface that is so forgiving it makes worrying about mistakes a very rare occurrence. Many Colored Pencil artists are not sure how to use the newer water-soluble crayons. There are now two sets of them available. (Caran d'Ache Neocolor II and Lyra) This Workshop explores the many uses and techniques of mixing, creating a palette, and layering over and under colored pencil, using these wonderful crayons.
 
This technique does not use the Prismacolor at all. Coloursoft, Polychromos and possibly Lyra and Pablo pencils are all very useful for this fast and free technique. Rather then the waxy Prismacolor pencils, these dryer and softer pencils are used to their fullest extent. As they are all partial or fully water-soluble, they can be layered over and under the washes to create intense color and strong effects. In this workshop you learn to blend with a brush and with water to create smooth color transitions.
 
UArt paper is utilized throughout the exercises. Uart paper is very forgiving, will not buckle when wet, and is almost indestructible. Bonnie will touch on how colors work together, their psychological effects, warm and cool tones and the value scale. Bonnie will be providing the paper and full color step-by-step instructions. To cover Bonnie's printing expenses there will be a fee for the folders.
