Learn how to paint a selection of wintry birds commonly found in Northern California’s redwood forests such as Anna’s Hummingbird, Dark-eyed Junco (Oregon), Acorn Woodpecker, Red-shouldered Hawk, and a Common Raven. The last week we will spend class time finishing up previous pieces and to get those final questions answered.

Each week the students will be provided with color copies of our chosen subject which we will use as our reference for drawing/painting. Students will learn how to transfer images onto their drawing surface using transfer paper. We can then jump right into the “meat” of the course and start learning how to choose colors, layer, blend, add texture, and much more!

Colored pencil is a wonderfully challenging (and at the same time) rewarding medium. It is one of my favorites and has brought me several hours of joy and inspiration. I look forward to teaching you what I have learned through my more than 10 years of exploration with colored pencil.

This is an in-person class being held at the Berkeley Finnish Hall and once enrollment has been confirmed students will receive a welcome email with more details about the class, including supplies, location details, and general information.

A one-time $20 materials fee has been included to cover printing and administration costs. :-)
