Wednesday Classes

ONLINE CLASS
DRAWING NATURE: Fall Leaves, Trees, and Plants using Watercolor Pencils (NEW CLASS)
Instructor: April Christenson
Adults & Teens: beginning & experienced students
Wednesdays, 3:00-4:30pm
Class Series: Oct. 7, Oct. 14, Oct. 21, Oct. 28
Cost: $130.00
Description: We will explore the wonders of watercolor pencils which are easier to use than watercolors. They are great for travel sketching and work for larger artworks. There are many new options in watercolor pencils these days, don’t miss out on the fun! Collect some photos of fall plants and leaves to use for this class. Collect some leaves from your yard to draw also.
Watercolor Pencils are easier to control and make great tools for sketching in the field. You can be a beginner or experienced artist to enjoy this class!  
This class will be held online so please have ordered through internet materials before class starts. Or if stores are open buy there. Purchase a set of at least 12 watercolor pencils on the internet or use what you have. Be sure to read the labels carefully so you do not end up with colored pencils: you need watercolor pencils that are water soluble.
Purchase a watercolor pad of paper preferably “hot press” if you like smooth surface or “cold press” if you like a rougher surface. Also get a pencil, skinny permanent black marker, something to hold water, a small watercolor brush. 
I recommend Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor pencils or Stadtler Watercolor Pencils.
For those with the stay at home blues this is a great cure!
