Biology/Art:Fungus Among Us-
Colored Pencil & Ink Illustration

It's not an animal and it's not a plant - it's a fungus!  One of the  four types of living Creatures! 

Alternating between a slideshow  and art demo and art practice, we'll learn fascinating facts about fungus - Oldest fungus, largest, basic shapes.  And we'll learn to draw  a chanterelle, color it with pencils 

Use any medium you prefer that allows for detailed work.- even just a plain pencil and copy paper.   

Most drug stores sell colored pencils for less then $10, a great way to get started! If you like to invest I recommend artist grade pencils such as Prismacolor Premiere - available on line and at most local art shops.

All skill levels welcome. Perfect for beginners.  Topics will include light and shadow, creating a 3-D form, color theory, mixing color for shadows , inking  a drawing, and more.

The demo will be done using drawing pencils, colored pencils,  and black permanent ink markers.
