May 17th & 18th, 2025, $395 + supplies
10:00am-4:30pm each day
Eileen's workshop will teach you how to use ink, watercolor and colored pencil together to create richly detailed pieces of art. Students will be guided through a group project step by step with Eileen demonstrating each stage and providing guidance along the way.
Her mixed media approach allows for a quick buildup of color and value while still leaving room for the beautiful detail and control of colored pencil. Designed to help students at every skill level to master techniques, design and color, you will learn watercolor and colored pencil application tips and how to extract the best qualities of each medium in this fun and informative workshop.
​Through step by step demonstrations, students will be guided through the process of transferring the line drawing onto the watercolor paper and then shown how to add the multiple layers of ink, watercolor, and colored pencil to achieve vibrantly rich results.
​
Each workshop will have a new and unique art design. Eileen's images used for promotion are examples of her professional work from the past. During the 2 day workshop, students will be beginning and studying Eileen's technique of Ink, Watercolor, & Colored Pencil on a smaller and simpler design to learn the technique.
