Learn to Colour Pencil - 1 day - GOLD COAST - MAY 2024 with Laura Stratton

This workshop is for all of you that have an eye for detail and love to get your art looking as 'photographic' as possible. We skip the drawing up on our subject and move you straight to the rendering techniques to learn high level realism using pencils. There is a wide variety of different pencils, shading techniques, papers and mediums that are used to get high realism effects when using colour pencil. Come along to our 1 day beginner course and get the basics with all materials supplied.

This workshop will introduce you to the joys of using coloured pencils as a fine art medium. Using professional quality materials, you will explore techniques and learn valuable tips to get you inspired with possibilities! You will create a small coloured pencil ‘painting’ you’ll be proud of. You will also gain an understanding of:

  • The three major techniques: Layering, burnishing and blending
  • Pencil varieties and suitable surfaces
  • Tools and Materials
  • Other tips and tricks for drawing realistically

Meet the Teach

Laura Stratton

I am an Australian pencil artists. My aim is to magnify everyday objects. My work allows the opportunity for the audience to develop a new appreciation of everyday items by drawing them as stand alone larger than life pieces.

I started out working in graphite and transitioned to colour pencil. By challenging myself to recreate and appreciate fine details I have developed my colour pencil skills to allow the viewer to feel a familiarity to the subjects.

I am constantly challenging myself to push to new levels of details by working in umerous pencils layers and exploring new techniques which I happily share in my workshops.
