Let’s embark on this creative journey together!
Struggling with Foil or Reflective Textures?
Maybe you've avoided shiny subjects like foil, glass, or reflective materials because they felt too complicated.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to simplify what you see, observe color shifts more clearly, and layer colored pencil with intention to create believable shine and texture.
What once felt difficult quickly becomes manageable—and even fun.
Experience the Satisfaction of Mastering Metallic Textures!
-
Capture the Shine of Foil and the Richness of Chocolate
Learn how to layer unexpected hues—from deep reds and greens to bright yellows and cool blues—to depict convincing metallic foil with colored pencil. We’ll explore how reflective surfaces behave and how subtle color shifts appear across the folds and crinkles of foil.
-
Build Confidence with Texture and Surface Contrast
Master the art of rendering contrasting surfaces, from the shiny crinkle of foil to the smooth richness of chocolate. You’ll refine your skills in layering, color shifts, and edge control using colored pencils on light gray Pastelmat, with optional solvent techniques for smoother transitions.
