Loose colored lines. Discovering a new way to draw.
Workshop language: English
The main objective of this workshop is to learn to express yourself. Practice drawing in a different way by painting with watercolor and drawing on top with colored pencils in a loose, fresh and casual way.
We will pay special attention to knowing and correctly combining colored pencils.
Most people always draw in the same way and with the same technique. What we commonly call the comfort zone.
The main and most interesting objective is for them to discover a new and original way of expressing drawings through colored spots and lines.
The second objective is to learn to correctly combine colors using complementary colors or toned colors.
Another objective is precisely to get out of the comfort zone.
My workshops are open to all types of public. I am a great lover of fresh, emotional, colorful drawings and drawings like a child.
No experience is necessary and Beginners/Intermediate or Advanced can attend.
