"Colorful White" in Prismacolor Color Pencil
Friday, March 6, 2026 - 9am to 4pm ET
Hosted by CPSA DC-125 in Winston Salem, NC
White objects aren’t really white at all—
and that’s where careful observation begins!
In this workshop, Mark will guide you through a still-life project that reveals the hidden world of color inside everyday “white” items. Using the gentle glow of an old-fashioned lamp, cool porcelain, soft eggshells, and shining glass, you’ll learn how to spot the blues, violets, yellows, and warm neutrals that bring white surfaces to life.
Mark will show you how to build rich, convincing whites without heavy pressure or endless layering. You’ll explore temperature shifts, soft shadows, transparent curves, and reflective metal—all with a relaxed approach that keeps your pencils sharp and your strokes light.
Whether you’re just starting your colored pencil journey or you’ve been drawing for years, you’ll walk away with new ways to see, new ways to shade, and a deeper appreciation for the quiet beauty in simple objects.
If you want to understand color on a whole new level—and make your whites glow with personality—this workshop is for you.
This workshop will be offered live online via Zoom. A video of the workshop will be sent to all registered a couple days following the completion of the workshop.
