Drawing Basics: Color with David Bailin

< Back to Workshops

Tuesdays, April 11-25, 5-7pm

 3 sessions | $140 for members $150 for non-members

This workshop is for the beginner who has a good grasp of pencil and/or charcoal technique but would like to transition into color or to know more about drawing with color.

This is a continuation of Drawing Basics Part One, but part one is not a prerequisite.

Forget the theory, the tedious color grids, the numbing lectures about hue, value and chroma. This course, using conté crayons and colored pencils, bridges the gap between working with tonality and working with color one step at a time.
