Learn the secrets of turning colored pencil into a fine art medium. You can use your pencils to create works as rich and nuanced as any oil painting.  Award-winning, world-renowned artist, Jesse Lane, guides you step by step, sharing his signature style for creating nuanced skin tones, dynamic lighting, and compelling composition. Don't miss this chance to study with one of the world's top colored pencil artists.  

All skill levels welcome!

Everyone works on the same portrait as Jesse gives detailed demos and works with students one-on-one.

The workshop includes:

• Large-Screen Demos: A video camera on Jesse’s drawing board is projected to a screen so students can easily follow along.

• One-on-One Instruction: Jesse visits each participant, offering encouragement, answering questions, and explaining technique.

• High-quality instructional materials, including a reference photo, a glossy tutorial booklet, and the image outlined on drawing paper.

Since colored pencil is a very slow medium, students will not complete the portrait in this workshop. Students learn the skills to complete the portrait on their own with the detailed, step-by-step workbook.  Take your art to the next level in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere!

Jesse's beautiful portraits and figurative pieces have appeared in numerous publications.  Among his many honors is the world's top award for colored pencil from the Colored Pencil Society of America.  Jesse grew up in The Woodlands and earned a degree in Visualization from Texas A&M.  He teaches workshops around the nation and online.  Jesse's work can be seen and purchased from the gallery that represents him: RJD Gallery in Romeo, MI.  He lives in The Woodlands with his wife, Kinsey, also a talented artist, and their two whippets.
