Add life to your drawings with color! In this class, students will learn fundamentals of drawing such as proportion, composition, value and more; and explore color theory as they incorporate color into the drawing process. Instructor and artist Paul Johnson will lead students through exercises and offer tips, techniques, and guidance as they create completed works of art using materials such as colored pencil and pastels. This class is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to learn foundational tools and further their understanding of color to take their drawings to the next level!

Paul Johnson, a resident of Pelican Rapids, taught for over 20 years as Communication Art and Design instructor at Alexandria Technical & Community College. He is the creator of Paul Johnson Design & Illustration, and is the Concordia Christmas Concert muralist, just completing his 15th mural.
