Description

In this course you will be working with line art provided by the artist, and learn her personal technique of coloring realistic metals with pencils. There's no need for fancy gold pens, markers, or paints. The secret to creating unbelievable metallic effects is in using the tools you already have. Join this amazing adventure, and take your coloring skill to the next level.

Wether you're a beginner, an intermediate, or an expert level colorist, you will come out of this course with skills that will make your coloring stand out from the rest of the community. The lessons are structured systematically, starting with very basic explanations of how to pick the right pencils and why certain effects work on paper, taking you through a study of how metals appear to the human eye and why, with many practice pages along the way, and guiding you to amazing shiny metals effects (silver, copper and gold) that appear very difficult to master.
If you follow the lessons in order and at your own pace, however, you will have no problem creating amazing metallic effects with just colored pencils on paper.

Lisa is a life-long professional artist with years of experience teaching. She has your back, and is always available to answer questions or offer a critique of your work in progress. Don't forget that you can always message your instructor.
