What better way to spend winter days than drawing beautiful flowers that are enjoyed this time of year. Sharpen your skills with colored pencils; learn about composition, applying and blending colors, and techniques for making your colors bolder and look more natural. Each week a flower assignment will give you a different experience using colored pencils. This online course will be taught as a combination of individual video meetings, group video meetings, demo videos and email for keeping in touch.

What to expect: Everyone will meet in the morning for a lesson and art review. After the morning session you will work on an assignment provided by the instructor. Each person will then schedule a 15 min afternoon consultation time with Carol to get personal instruction on the assignment. Materials are not provided for the workshop.
