You’ve probably seen them – drawings so beautiful, neat, and realistic that you can’t imagine they were created with colored pencils. It seems that making them takes ages and enormous effort. But in fact, it is much faster and easier. Let us show you!

At this course, we will master the fundamentals of working with colored pencils, learn to hatch, convey various textures, regulate pencil pressure, and blend colors.

Our instructor Francesca Possati will help you build confidence in drawing and accompany you through the whole process, from initial sketch to the final details. Join us at the course and discover the opportunities of colored pencils with Francesca!
