In this class, we are going to get creative with some different art supplies that you might not initially gravitate to. Water-soluble crayons and pencils. I love experimenting with all the supplies and learning to push them in new ways. I am going to show you some of my favorite water-soluble supplies and how I love to use them for creating beyond just the standard mark making.
We’ll be color swatching, and creating smaller color pieces to figure out what colors we want to use in a larger piece. We’ll also be doing a larger piece and a large piece we cut up… since cutting up art is one of my very favorite techniques.
This class is for you if:
- You love learning new techniques for your art
- You are interested in learning more about water-soluble crayons and pencils
- You love experimenting with art supplies
- You love watching how others approach their art practice
Supplies: I encourage you to use the supplies you have on hand to do your projects. Look around at the supplies you already have, and check out the supplies I’m showing you in class to see what you can substitute, and what you’d like to experiment with. I give you lots of choices and suggest substitutes.
- Watercolor paper – In this class, I’m playing in my sketchbooks which are 110lb cold press watercolor paper, and I’m using Cold Press 140lb watercolor paper for the larger pieces and our series project.
- Various water-soluble supplies like the NeoColor 2 crayons, Inktense pencils, watercolor pencils, charcoal, pastels, etc… I am showing you tons of options in class that you might consider and choose for your pieces.
- a few pens, pencils, neo color ii crayons for mark-making options
- A few choices of acrylic ink – and a metallic acrylic ink if you like that bit of sparkle when the light shines on your pieces as I do.
- I like India ink (I’m using black magic ink) for black accents and marks
- Posca paint pen -I like a white pen for adding marks and dots
