Description
With easy-to-follow instructions, students will use colored pencils to create a lovely still-life featuring spring tulips in blue vases. The instructor will step you through understanding the key characteristics of glass and how to translate them to paper. In addition, you will capture the delicate nature of tulips by applying soft layers of color with subtle transitions between each tone. All levels are welcome. The zoom link and list of needed supplies will be provided to students before the class via email from the instructor.
