Discover (or rediscover) the timeless art of still life in this welcoming colored pencil workshop with award-winning artist Cynthia Knox. Whether you’re brand new to still life in colored pencils or an experienced artist ready to refresh your skills, this new workshop from the “Queen of Still Life” will guide you through the essential building blocks that make a still life drawing truly shine.
You’ll explore how to choose and arrange your subjects, create balanced compositions, and use light, shadow, color, and texture to bring everyday objects to life. Cynthia will share practical tips on observing shapes and values, planning your layout, and layering color to add depth and realism.
By the end, you’ll walk away with a stronger foundation, fresh inspiration, and the confidence to create still life artworks that feel both personal and polished. This workshop is a warm, encouraging space to build your skills and spark new ideas—perfect for artists at any level.
Cynthia will also be signing any of her books that you’ve purchased so bring them with you if you plan to attend in person!
