This is an online class!
Learn the basics of color theory, drawing construction, and how to blend colored pencils to create a variety of colors, shades, textures and effects. We will create drawings from objects and still-lifes and discuss the ingredients it takes to create a successful drawing composition. A small materials list will be provided.

The day before the first class you will receive an invitation from Wendy to join the online class in the (free) Zoom application.
Watch this orientation video if you are new to Zoom: https://youtu.be/hIkCmbvAHQQ. You may download and install the Zoom application at any time. We recommend you do this after you enroll in class or at least one day prior to your first online class. Choose the download option that best fits your technology. Unless you will be using an iPad or mobile device, the first option is most likely the one you’ll need.
1. Class will begin at 6:30 pm. Wendy will be on Zoom 15 minutes before the class starts.
2. You may login early, but if you step away from your computer before class starts leave Zoom open.
3. Connection is better if you close all web browsers on your computer while on Zoom.
4. Due to high volume on Zoom, connection may be imperfect at times.
5. If you have technical issues during class, quit Zoom and then login again. If you still have trouble, shut down your computer, wait 2-minutes, and then try again.
6. We encourage you to have your camera on during class, so you can share your work with the instructor.
7. You may want to add a photo to your profile; see these instructions. This is optional.
8. Wear a headset or earbuds or close a door to help limit background noise during class.
9. Plan ahead and have your materials ready before the start of class.
