Lakewood Branch

Lakewood Meeting Room

An introduction to watercolor pencils presented by Jenny Santa Maria of Flame Tip Studio. No prerequisite skills required. Please Register.

Watercolor pencils offer the precision of dry media, combined with the softness and fluid beauty of watercolor when activated with water, giving participants greater control in their creative process. We will look to the masters for inspiration; participants will pick a famous work from the Impressionists to sketch and paint. Participants will learn observational drawing skills, techniques using brushes, and we’ll be using the supplies the pros use- Derwent & CastleArts watercolor pencils.
