Brighten up those gray, winter days to come with a “Colored Pencil Workshop” at The Atelier on Friday, November 7th at 10AM-2PM

Discover the beauty and versatility of colored pencils. Students will understand the properties of color pencil as a painting medium. Using a photo reference of your own choosing,  you will learn how to layer the pencil pigment by exploring basic pencil strokes, shading, and blending to produce a variety of effects to create a finished painting.

Liz Fusco is an award-winning, Long Island artist and has been painting and drawing for most of her life. Liz began painting in oils and her subjects were typically landscape and nature scenes. Liz had always wanted to learn the skill of Botanical Illustration. After completing a three-year long process at the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, New York, Liz added Certified Botanical Illustration to her other education credentials.

The cost for this 4-hour, 1-day workshop is $95 per person. Students should bring a full set of good quality color pencils (PRISMACOLOR, or Faber Castell is recommended); Stonehenge or Strathmore Bristol paper, Mi Tientes colored paper (either black or dark blue), graphite pencil HB, H; a good pencil sharpener, and a Staedtler Mars eraser.
