Drafting film isn’t new to the coloured pencil artist but it’s seldom used. Janie will show you how to create a beautiful illustration of green crab apples on this unusual surface. It takes coloured pencils well and is a much quicker process than working on 300g HP paper. The results are bright and translucent and every bit as vibrant as on other surfaces – maybe even brighter! The best bit – you don’t even have to draw your image on it first. Intrigued? Join the class and find out more.

Suitable for beginners and upward

A kit containing everything that you need for the course will be posted to you in advance of the course.
