WORKSHOP I: Whet Your Appetite for Watercolor Pencils

Discover the pleasure of painting with watercolor pencils. This is a perfect "bridge" for both the artists who love to draw and those who enjoy the fluid beauty of watercolor. There will be demonstrator sets of several brands of water-soluble colored pencils available for student use and experimentation, as well as some sets available for purchase. Learn how to spatter, brush, wash, and intensify colors with the help of the remarkable watercolor pencil. This is truly a great way to spend a day, "painting from a point". All levels of students: experiment, explore, and enjoy!
    Kristy is a graduate of Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, with both bachelor and master’s degrees in education, as well as a life license in teaching. She has taught colored pencil workshops for students of all ages and levels of experience in all parts of the country.
