In the realm of visual arts, colored pencil drawing has evolved into a highly specialized field. In order to excel in this popular and universally beloved art form, one must possess a deep understanding of intricate techniques and technical intricacies.
Icarus Art Academy prides itself on equipping students with cutting-edge techniques in colored pencil drawing. We not only introduce these methods, but we also ensure that our students become comfortable and proficient in using the necessary tools. From selecting the right paper or surface to choosing the best brand of colored pencils and accompanying materials, our top priority is providing a comprehensive education. Our students also develop their technical skills so they can master this beautiful art form.
Because of the unique characteristics of colored pencils and their close resemblance to traditional pencil drawing, colored pencil classes are considered a more advanced level of instruction in drawing. As a result, students must possess a strong foundation and technical proficiency from previous courses in order to successfully tackle the challenges of colored pencil instruction.
