Class/Workshop Details

Join Instructor Helen Shafer Garcia for a special two-day class drawing patterns and stories with colored pencils.  Colored pencils are such good therapy!  Pressing down pure color on smooth paper leads to endless good vibes.  Helen will teach you how to combine watercolors, water-soluble pens, and colored pencils while learning clever, user-friendly ways to draw.  Helen’s drawing methods will ease those (ever so present) inhibitions about drawing lines and shapes.  Learn how to blend beautiful color layers and create dark and light mixtures. You’ll be prompted to create small poems to be collaged in a clever way throughout the works. 

Supply Fee: Please note there is an additional $10 (cash only) supply fee due at class for Tombow pens, Chartpak pens, and paper text for collage
