SUMMARY:Beginner Graphite Pencil with Phil Schorn
DESCRIPTION:This class is for students wanting to learn how to create a finished rendering with a graphite pencil. Students will focus on how to get outlines on paper\, differences in pencils and paper and learning about textures and details. \nSTUDENTS MUST PURCHASE SUPPLIES ON THEIR OWN: (Any questions about supplies\, please contact Phil) \n\n12″ ruler\n9×12 Drawing Paper and/or Smooth Bristol Smooth Paper (same paper as color pencil)\nPencil Sharpener (manual or electric) – there will be a couple provided.\nSet with various H thru B pencils is best.\nVarious sized “Blending Stumps”\nKneaded Eraser and Drafting Eraser\nSmall drafting brush or (clean paint brush).\n\n \nPhilip Schorn – P Schorn Studio – Botanical Color Pencil Artist My botanical renderings are not drawings of plant specimens as seen in scientific books; rather\, they are renderings of plants as seen through the eye of an artist. I can look at the ground; I can see the shapes\, light\, and shadows. I focus on a small portion of the subject and what makes it interesting\, whether that be the individual leaf\, flower\, or snapshot of the ground\, to bring the details to life.\nI have been working with colored pencil for several years and teaching the art for the last three years. I’m currently teaching online from my home since March. I currently teach online color pencil classes for other art studios/galleries\, private classes and Facebook demos. I have two books published of my art/techniques on. I have done a number of outdoor shows\, group and individual exhibitions.\nMy process of making a rendering with the detail that I want to have requires a significant amount of time. Sometimes I use other media\, such as ink\, watercolors or pastels.\nI am a member of the Color Pencil Society of America\, Grayslake Arts Alliance and the Lake County Art League. My studio is located in Grayslake. \nEmail: phil@nullpschornstudio.com   FB: pschornstudio/
