Exploring Color Relationships in Colored Pencil
Sarah Bixler
$375
Working from different models you’ll learn to quickly observe color relationships both within the model and the space around them. This is a great class to support figure painting or color study in another medium. We will look at examples from art history and contemporary art to support our work.
