Join us for a full-day workshop designed to explore the use of colored pencils to create realistic artwork. This course will guide participants through two distinct projects—each focusing on mastering a different texture—providing practice with layering and blending. You will learn techniques for achieving dimension, including methods for creating highlights and shadows, and tips for using specialized tools. All necessary supplies will be provided for your use during the workshop, though students are welcome to bring their preferred personal materials. This course is perfect for artists looking to elevate their representational drawing skills and gain confidence in using colored pencils as a fine art medium.
Cost is $75.00 for Members and $100.00 for Non-Members. Space is Limited to 14 students.
Michele Young has been drawing since childhood, an interest inspired by her artistic family members. Her college art professor discouraged her realistic style, so instead of pursuing art, she had a fulfilling 30-year career teaching Special Education. Michele rediscovered her love for drawing in 2016, and since then, her work has been featured in art exhibitions and a variety of venues throughout Brandon and Tampa. Michele specializes in representational art, using colored pencils and pastels to capture details and textures. She finds joy in combining her love of art with her love of teaching. Currently, Michele teaches art classes throughout the community. Her hope is that her art inspires curiosity and a deeper appreciation for colored pencils as a fine art medium.
