Prerequisites: Botanical Drawing I and II and Colored Pencil I
Experience how toned paper can enhance your colored pencil drawings. Starting from a mid-tone value, you will learn to see shadows and lights in a new way.
This class will cover various techniques to explore the color shifts caused by a toned substrate. We will examine how working on toned paper creates an overall warm or cool tone to your drawing, helps define light values, adds color unity, and allows for highlights that sparkle.
