If you have other high-quality colored pencils\, bring them. There will also be additional supplies for sale from the instructor on the day of class\; please bring cash to purchase anything extra.\n\nLevel: Beginner/No prior experience necessary\, but also intermediate friendly.\n\n \n\nAges 18+\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n\n \n\n\nThough colored pencil was once thought of as a grade school medium\, professional artists today have chosen it as their preferred medium and are exhibiting in galleries\, museums\, and publishing internationally\, along with illustrating for advertising and magazines. The specific technique you will learn is a layering of pencil applied with light pressure\, creating color intensity and a means to add minute detail. With intense color on a dark background the image (of your choice) punches and acts as a magnet for a viewer. We'll review contemporary pencil artists and what good composition is\, you'll do an exercise sheet with multiple stroke application techniques\, and begin a customized artwork of your own subject in your own composition\, and you'll be able to work at your own pace in class\, finishing the piece on your own beyond the class timeframe.\n\n \n\nInstructor Bio: Nass' drawings and paintings are internationally published (including Biology of Plants by Evert\, Eichhorn\, Raven/W.H.

Work appears in museum (e.g. Museum of Natural History in Zhejiang\, China)\, corporate and private collections. Nass co-curates\, along with Mary Dickey and Kel Mur\, River Arts on Water Gallery in Prairie du Sac\, Wisconsin.
