The workshop fee is $85 for Art Guild Members and $95 for non-members. This class will present an exciting technique working with colored pencils on a canvas toned with a dark ink wash. This is an excellent method of creating naturalistic artworks with relatively simple means.

Individual attention will be provided to all. A materials list will be emailed to you after registering for this workshop.
