This course provides an opportunity to learn the artist's personal technique of coloring realistic metals with pencils. No fancy gold pens, markers, or paints are needed to create unbelievable metallic effects. Whether a beginner, intermediate, or expert level colorist, participants will come away with skills to make their coloring stand out from the rest. The lessons are structured systematically, beginning with basic explanations of how to pick the right pencils and why certain effects work on paper, followed by a study of how metals appear to the human eye and why. Practice pages are included along the way, guiding participants to create amazing shiny metals effects (silver, copper and gold) that appear very difficult to master. With guidance from the instructor, who is a life-long professional artist with years of experience teaching, participants will have no problem creating amazing metallic effects with just colored pencils on paper.
