Color Theory
Using Compliments : When placed next to each other complimentary colors createlively, exciting contrast. Using a complimentary color in the background will cause your subject to seem to “pop” of the surface.
Replicate each in your sketch books, you have these already
1. A blended color wheel
2: a complimentary color scheme
3: An analogous color scheme
4. Monochromatic color scheme

Day 2 : *These should be replicated in your sketchbooks
StrokesEvery line you make in a colored pencil drawing is important, from the direction, width, texture and pressure will all contribute to the effect that you create.
Pressure
Pressure: Varying the amount of pressure you use on your pencil is an easy way to transition between values. Colored pencils are translucent, the color of the paper underneath will show through. Medium pressure creates a good foundation for layering.
Strokes and Movements
Strokes and Movement: A group of straight lines suggest directionA group of slightly curved lines gives a sense of motion. Combining the two gives a more turbulent busy effect
Varied Line
Varied Line : Vary the width and weight of the lines you create to make them more textured and interestingThese types of lines can create a feeling of dimension in your drawing
Strokes and Texture
Strokes and Texture : You can imitate different textures by creating patterns of dots and dashes on the paper
Hatching and Cross Hatching
Layering and BlendingArtist use a transparent layering process to either build up color or create new colors and visual effects. One should always use more than one color on any given area. To deepen a color , layer over it.To dull a color, use its complement. Always start with the lightest color and work your way up to the darkest color
Here is a still life rendered with layers of hatch strokes.It was built up by layering different values of the same color and then dulled a bit by adding a touch of its compliment. Notice the shadows are blends of many different colors, not just grey or black
Burnishing Day 3: In class drawing
Blending technique that requires a build up of heavy pressure to blend two or more colors.Usually a heavy layer of white or another light color us applied over darker colors to create a shiny, shiny blend.
