Drawing with Prismacolor Pencils

Please join us for Workshops with artist Frederick Phillips who will demonstrate the unique qualities of Prismacolor Premier coloured pencils and show you different techniques and methods of using these pencils to achieve colour drawings with the richness and depth of an oil painting. ​Fred has worked with Prismacolor pencils for over 25 years and recommends them because their soft wax core means they can be layered and easily blended.

 

Drawing Flowers with Prismacolor Pencils  Sat 21st Sept

1-4pm £30 (plus £19.50 for the cost of the pencils)

The subject for this workshop will be flowers and for this first one, you will work from photos and will focus on flowers both close-up and distant, on colour and form and on exploring how this subject can be represented - from ‘real’ to ‘abstract’.

Suitable for all levels of ability, the workshop cost of £30 includes all materials (fine art papers, silk, fixative, erasers etc.) except the Prismacolor Pencils. You will be able to buy the pencils required for £19.50 from Fred (pay when booking). The pencils are yours to keep for use at home and can be used for further workshops.

If you already have Prismacolor Premium pencils (perhaps from previous workshops) then contact us to see if you need any additional ones.

Sat 9th Nov 11:30-4:30pm £45 (plus £19.50 for the cost of the pencils).
