Then each will choose their own subject from photos they bring in, borrow from my supply, or find live, and implement the techniques learned. Those who would like to, may work outdoors after the first couple days. There will be mini-demonstrations of a number of popular colored pencil techniques (such as “Layering”, “Grisaille”, & “Burnishing”). There will be tips on design & composition, exercises, a generous packet of handouts, step-by-step examples, pointers for taking and working from photographs." Ms. Jenkins’ work has been recently published (her eighth time!) in “The Ultimate Guide to Painting from PHOTOGRAPHS”. There will be lots of nurturing personal attention !
