Colored Pencil Class

Had a great time in class yesterday, teaching the students to use watercolor colored pencils. I had them draw an apple first with the watercolor pencils, and then when it was dry, go over it with their Prismacolors. I can see them progressing each week. Here's the apple I drew last weekend using watercolor pencils and going over it with Prismacolors. I brought it to class to show them what was possible.
