You want me to Do What With a Pencil?
Exciting pencil art contains the “unexpected” mark! After many years of experimentation, Kathi has mastered how to manipulate all types of pencil pigments in non-traditional ways. She is happy to share how to create additional mood, movement, texture, dimension, detail, and of course…. the “unexpected” mark!!! Techniques such as how to grate, pounce, rock, roll, and burnish (all types} pencil pigment will be demonstrated as well as how you can paint with pencils and sticks. These techniques can be mastered by artists of all age levels and abilities and, once implemented, will take their artwork to the next level.
