General Pencil presents a fun afternoon of “Painting with Pencils” with Artist and Demonstrator Kathi Hanson!

Exciting pencil art contains the "unexpected" mark! After many years of experimentation, Kathi has mastered how to manipulate all type pencil pigments in non-traditional ways 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) of pencil pigment will be demonstrated as well as how you can paint with pencils. These techniques can be mastered by artists of all age levels and abilities and once implemented will take their artwork to the next level.

Drawing/painting tools included. Attendees will get to keep key basic materials!

Kathi Hanson has been teaching workshops across the U.S.A. and Canada for the past thirty years. She is known for her vast knowledge of subject matter and unique special effect techniques in multiple mediums.
