Drawing with Ricky: Flight of Fantasy: In this 4-week drawing series (graphite and coloured pencil) we are exploring the realm of fantasy and considering how to draw from the imagination while drawing inspiration from real world animal references.  This program will provide a freedom of creativity for students to add their own personal touch to every drawing.  We will draw dragons, fairies and more, and explore working in graphite and coloured pencil.  Perfect for any drawing student looking to add an infusion of creativity and imagination to their drawing practice. 

Every student will need: (I do sell all of these items at my studio and am happy to put together a kit for you if need be!)

A Sketchbook 8x10 or 9x12, the higher quality paper the better.
Sketching pencil set (2H, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B.  Most pencil sets you buy in an art store will have a good range of pencils so as long as you have some light pencils 2H, 4H and some dark pencils like 2B and 6B you’ll be good!)
Kneadable Eraser
Rubber Eraser
Pencil Sharpener
Paper Blending Stump

Set of High Quality Coloured Pencils. Preferred brands are Lyra Polycolor (sold at the Ricky Schaede Art Studio), Faber-Castell Polychromos or Prismacolor Premier. The more colour choices you have, the better, so a bigger set is best. If you already have a big set of coloured pencils but they aren’t the top quality brands listed above, they should work fine for this course, as long as they are soft and have good colour quality.

Colourless Blending Pencil

Optional Items: (these items aren’t required but they are useful and a great addition to your materials kit!)

Tombow Mono Zero Fine Point Eraser
Electric Eraser
Soft paintbrush for sweeping away eraser shavings
