On Day 1 we will focus on colour - how to create it and apply it. We will practice layering techniques and I will guide you through mixing all the colours you need using just red, yellow and blue pencils. I'll also explain how to get different results by changing the way you hold your pencils.

Using texture
Creating Colour
On Day 4 we will explore shading with texture. We will start our landscape drawing, by applying the colouring and shading techniques used on previous days. This will lay the groundwork for creating something a bit different - a piece of artwork "inspired" by reference.
Finishing off our artwork
On Day 5 we will finish your drawing using layering, blending, texture and pattern. By the end of the workshop you will have a vibrant landscape drawing that shows off all your new skills.
