This beautiful peony will be your main project. You will also be able to choose a secondary project from Cecile’s other projects to start and then take home to finish. Cecile will begin by showing how she lights her dramatic still lifes and give you tips to create your own. She will then show you how to apply the colored pencil to create soft smooth blending. You will learn how to take the fear out of doing glass. It will be a very hands-on class and Cecile will share all the tips and tricks of using this wonderful medium she has learned over the years.

Cecile will provide:

Pre-printed pattern on Stonehenge paper
Photo reference
Step by step instructions
Additional handouts on lighting
