Colored Pencils Magic

[length 7:31] Shelley Toon Lindberg discusses basic and advanced versions of the materials and some tips for their uses.

[length 8:38] Shelley Toon Lindberg grounds our work in this module in the Core Cultural Value of Haa Latseeni (strength of mind, body, and spirit). She explains how to set up your paper on colored pencil explorations and leads you through an exercise of building a color spectrum chart. 

[length 10:57] Combine the same color with gray, white, and black, using a section of cross-hatching and a section of overlapping layers for each combination. 

[length 7:40] Work with 3 analogous colors exploring what you create when overlapping them with a variety of lines. Then repeat the exercise with the addition of gray, black, or white. 

[length 8:39] Investigate complementary colors while creating the illusion of texture through the use of the following techniques: scribbling, scrumbling, cross-hatching, and blending/burnishing.

[length 3:20] Use various erasers to add textural elements to squares colored with pencils.

[length 24:35] In this video you will use your new skills in color blending and lines to color a sketch of downtown Sitka. While Shelley Toon Lindberg states that you may use any city/sea/landscape of your choice, the video features a real-time exercise using a particular photo of downtown Sitka. You will want to print a Black and White version of this photo before you begin watching this video.
