New Workshops Are Coming!

New workshops are on the horizon. Yea!!! I have 2 new workshops opening at Creative Pencils next week.  Both were created in response to the requests of students.  And both are using less than common pencils.   It is your opportunity to expand your pencil knowledge.  Double Yea!!

Panda in Pastels

Panda in Pastels is a drawing of a beautiful panda among the bamboo.  I drew the original as a gift for a new mother.  She had especially requested a panda bear.  Some of my students saw it while in progress and asked that I teach them how to draw one of their own.  I know you will love joining in.  In this workshop we use Derwent Soft Pastel pencils and I will take you through your drawing one step at a time.  Remember you can always ask me questions and show your work to me so that I can help you along the way.  I love looking at your work.  This colorful panda is a project that is suited to students of any drawing level.  

Lovely Wren

Lovely Wren started as a drawing I did at home just playing with my pencils.  One of my students saw it and requested a workshop so she could also draw a "lovely wren".  This drawing was created with Derwent Drawing pencils (sometimes referred to as Soft Drawing).  These pencils are very soft and layer in a very different way than regular colored pencils.  I think you will enjoy this new process and certainly your skills will benefit by expanding your knowledge. 

Dog Portrait in Graphite

One more bit of news is that the time for the Dog Portrait in Graphite workshop has been extended.  Due to my move, I am giving extra time just in case that complication was an interference for anyone else.  So, come on!  You've still got time to join in! 

Have a great weekend and remember to spend some quality time with your pencils.  I'd hate for them to get lonely.  Haha!

Its A Lovely Sunny Friday

 

I would love for you to join me for this Siamese Portrait in Tinted Charcoal workshop.  I am teaching this workshop at the One Little House online event.  Enrollment is currently open and the workshop begins March 29, 2013.   The workshop will run through May 24, 2013.  But enrollment will close on April 18.   While a beginning drawing student can accomplish the workshop, it also offers information a more experienced drawing student can glean.  If you have not used the Derwent tinted charcoal pencils yet, you will love using them.  They have such lovely colors and are a dream to work with.

 

Remember you can learn to layer colors and blend them with a blending solvent in this lovely Spring Tulips workshop.  This workshop is offered through my Creative Pencils teaching site.   You will love working with this solvent for your layers.  You will love the rich look it lends to your drawings.  Tulips in Colored Pencils is currently open and will remain so through May 24, 2013.  Enrollment closes May 1.

 

Recently, I won this Lottie pin from Manon of Manonpopje's Art.  We were both participating in the GYB event from 2BagsFull.   It took a while for my pin to arrive as it had to swim the Atlantic Ocean to get here.   I just love Manon's art.  She just makes me smile!  The bonus for me was the card that was included.  How cute!  It will have to be posted in my studio in a spot where I will see it often.  Than you Manon.
