ART WORKSHOP FROM JAN LAWNIKANIS
This 3-day workshop gives participants the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the art of colour pencil. With an emphasis on techniques for rendering different backgrounds, and creating underlayers to speed up the process, you will be delighted with discovering the versatility of the colour pencil medium.

Different papers and surfaces will be introduced to give the option of leaving the background untouched, and underlayers of other media will provide plenty of options for unique artworks.

Bring any “failed’ watercolour paintings (optional) to see how they can be improved with the addition of pencils, used either wet or dry.

This workshop is ideally suited to those who have learnt the basics with colour pencils and with watercolour painting, but beginners are also welcome.

ART MATERIALS REQUIRED:

COLOUR PENCIL SUPPLIES
Pencils - Bring as large a range as possible of professional colour pencils, which can be aquarelle (water soluble pencils), or non aquarelle. No less than 36, but the larger the colour choice, the better. Suggested aquarelle brands are Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils, or Caran D’Ache Supracolor or Prismacolor Premier Watercolor or Cretacolor Aqua Monolith. Other non-aquarelle choices are Prismacolor, Faber-Castell Polychromos, Derwent Coloursoft and any other professional brand.

Sharpener: I highly recommend a rechargeable electric sharpener. Otherwise, any ‘rotary’ sharpener that grinds, rather than shaves pencils. Jan will bring 3 desk sharpeners to share in case you don’t have one.

 New soft- bristle brush – 2” wide or larger. For brushing away pencil crumbs. This is to be kept separate from your watercolour brushes.

Eraser –Battery operated ones are available by Derwent, Kent, or Mont Marte from some discount stores. (But not a necessary requirement as Jan will bring some to share.) Otherwise, a kneadable eraser.

A ‘dud’ photograph or transparency or acetate sheet - For using under your drawing hand to prevent smudging your work.

Paper –You will require 300gsm 100% Cotton watercolour paper, Hot Pressed, if choosing to also bring watercolour paints. Only bring these brands: Either - Arches, Saunders Waterford or Fabriano Artistico (no other Fabriano), or Masters Choice by Baohong. Another good choice for wet media is Strathmore Mixed Media paper 400 Series. Toned Tan is best. You will need about A4 size or larger for all papers.

Other choices of paper for working ‘dry’ are Canson Mi-Teintes, or Canson Velvet, or Claire Fontaine Pastelmat. These all come in a range of colours, so choose either a light tan, or light grey or cream. Or white.

Board –Larger than your paper and something to prop up under one end for working at an angle. The board MUST be very smooth! Otherwise bring a smooth card for on top.
Masking tape. (3M Magic Tape is particularly good.)

WATERCOLOUR SUPPLIES (optional)
Brushes - Bring whatever watercolour brushes you already own but include at least two ‘rounds’ with a sharp point (one small and one larger), plus a larger ‘mop’ brush for backgrounds.  Just make sure they are designated watercolour brushes and not long handle acrylic brushes.

Palette etc – Make sure it has a large enough mixing area. An old towel or hand towel, tissues, 2 plastic containers for water, and a medicine dropper or plastic pipette.

Other Necessities – Drawing equipment (pencils, eraser, plus pen and paper for taking notes), 1 sheet of graphite transfer paper (not carbon paper),

References: Jan will supply references for group studies. Feel free to bring a finished watercolour painting that could be improved with the addition of colour pencil! You are also welcome to bring any copyright-free references for individual projects. Bring the original and a photocopy you can use for transferring.

OPTIONAL:  Wood panels (the kind that have a birch top and wood border on the back like a stretched canvas). These make a great surface for colour pencil. Drafting Film is another popular surface for colour pencil. I will bring some sheets to sell.
