Colored pencil is like any other medium, it starts with technique and patience as it is a building procss of blending many layers of a combination of colors.  The quality of the pencils and paper are very important for the final outcome of your painting.  Please do not subsitute other brands for the supplies listed below.  Plan on taking the class over a period of time as it is a building process.  All projects cannot be completed in a few class sessions.  

I have often been told they can't believe a drawing is created with colored pencil. If you love to draw, you will be amazed at what you can create.
