While some lessons in the class are geared to papercrafters using stamps – fine artists can also learn much by applying the techniques to drawn images as well. Just substitute your own drawings when we get to the later lessons on different papers!
Students can even take this class without owning a full set of pencils! The color theory exercises will teach how to mix colors using a color wheel to create new hues. Start with what you have, and as you grow as an artist you can decide what other products might be of interest to you!
This class will get beginners started, amp up intermediate students, and deepen an advanced student’s knowledge of colored pencils – and this class serves as the prerequisite for future classes.
The lessons can be viewed anytime and at your leisure; there are hours of instruction that you can watch again and again for years to come:

I so enjoyed this class! I seem to be addicted to purchasing colored pencils and wanted to improve my colored pencil skills. My biggest challenge is coloring lightly and shading and this class was just what I needed. I can highly recommend it!!

This class if full of interesting technics that can be applied over and over again , from card making to simply apply colored pencil for any subject. What was especially interesting for me was the color theory and all the tools for blending and helping me make color choices for my projects.
