KITTY DODD
After trying virtually every media, Dodd fell in love with colored pencils because they can create almost every look that one can imagine; they are easy to transport, are neat, and can elicit an emotional bond because the pencil is an extension of your finger. Dodd has attended the University of Michigan, Corcoran School of Art, Mary Baldwin College and the Savannah College of Art and Design and has studied with several artists in different media including the founder of the Colored Pencil Society of America. While teaching at a private school in Virginia, Dodd “developed” different ways to use colored pencils, some of which will be taught in workshops at the 2008 CPSA National Convention.

Fee:$125 members  $150 non-members
Class size limit:8-12 students

Details: Day 1 Fraktured Watercolor/Colored Pencil Paintings
Learn a clever way to create a still life that is both abstract and realistic, fun and attention getting. A watercolor and plastic wrap base is laid down and the picture is drawn over the dried color. Final art looks like a broken mirror.

Day 2 Painting with Colored Pencils and Sticks
Learn an approach that is about as non-traditional as colored pencil can get. Use contact paper, sponges, cotton, odorless mineral spirits, etc. and leave with a unique and conversational work of art.
