This LivePlus™ online workshop is suitable for beginners and those wishing to further develop their skills with coloured pencils. This is a work-along workshop and so we would encourage students to have their materials to hand, ready to participate live during the class.
Workshop details
Coloured pencils are very under-rated as an art form, yet they are easy to manipulate, feel familiar to handle, and the resulting artistic successes are extremely satisfying. You will soon become “hooked” on this wonderful art media.
With good quality coloured pencils and smooth paper, this course is an enjoyable way to begin your journey or improve on what you already know. There is no mess, and no worry about using water and paint - it is delightful to do and not difficult to learn.
During this two-part course, Jan will teach you how to use coloured pencils to create a 'painting' of Winter botanicals. We will study a different seasonal flower in each session, and these will be confirmed closer to the time.
Students will be encouraged to work along as Jan demonstrates the techniques and then practise in their own time between the two sessions. There will be time for feedback in the second session on any work that students wish to share.
Specific skills you will learn at the workshop
Materials are not included in the course fee. All the materials and equipment you will need are listed below.

Additional Information
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online blackboard. Helpful and easy to use, they enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – just as you would in a classroom environment.
Jan will offer personalised critique / feedback via the blackboard for any work uploaded by students within thirty days of the class ending. You will be sent the link to access your blackboard in the week before your class begins and will have access for at least sixty days after the class ends.
After the live session has finished on Zoom, we will share the link to view the recording on the blackboard. You can watch the recording as many times as you like for sixty days.
We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment.
