Discover the Art of Colored Pencil Drawing

Explore the beauty of drawing a landscape with colored pencil. In this course you will learn how to draw sky, water, trees, etc. This is not the traditional beginner class, even though this class is for beginners. Each week we will work on techniques to create the various aspects of a landscape. Reference images will be supplied.

Experienced Artists Welcome

If you already have experience working with colored pencils, you are welcome to join as well. Instead of following the beginner projects, you may choose to focus on your own rendering. Meanwhile, I will be available to provide individualized guidance and support so that you can take your work to the next level.

Ultimately, this course offers an opportunity to experience how colored pencils can become a truly expressive and rewarding fine art medium. Therefore, all levels are welcome!

Philip Schorn – P Schorn Studio – Botanical Color Pencil Artist His botanical renderings are not scientific studies of plant specimens. They are artistic interpretations of plants. He notices shapes, light, and shadows in the ground around him. He often focuses on a single detail – an individual leaf, a flower, or a small fragment of earth. In this way, he brings those details to life. He has worked with colored pencil for several years and has taught the art for the past three.

Philip is currently teaching online from his home since March. He teaches online color pencil classes for other art studios/galleries, private classes and Facebook demos. He has published two books featuring his art and techniques and has done a number of outdoor shows, group and individual exhibitions.

Philip’s process of making a rendering with the detail that he wants to have requires a significant amount of time. Sometimes he uses other media, such as ink, watercolors or pastels.
Philip is a member of the Color Pencil Society of America, Grayslake Arts Alliance and the Lake County Art League. His studio is located in Grayslake.
