Advanced Art Nature Studies

The Advanced classes are working hard on Nature Studies in colored pencil. We reviewed value scales in both ebony pencil as well as colored pencil and learned blending and shading techniques to make their drawings look three-dimensional. After selecting their subject and putting together a photo collage, the students drew their compositions. A 2" border was added. Everything inside will be in full color and everything in the border will be grayscale. The studies are great examples of contrast and emphasis in art. The coloring phase has just begun. (Everyone is figuring out how awesome Prismacolor pencils are!) The final pieces are going to be amazing!
