Exploring Lichens Greens with Christiane Fashek
Lichens encompass an array of greens. Students will build lichen palettes using colored pencil and gouache, from tangy lime to palest mint. Christiane will show how to layer, texture and burnish to capture the characteristics of dry and wet specimens.
Supply list:
- (PA42, PA110) 4 sheets of hotpress Watercolor paper, 9x12: one for the final piece, the others for palette and pattern studies. I use Legion Stonehenge or Arches hotpress.
- (PL38, PL90) a graphite pencil to sketch and transfer
- (E22, E36) erasers: Tombow Mono Zero and a kneaded eraser
- helical crank sharpener: Muji, Carl Angel 5, and Rapesco 64 work well
- (S1145) artist’s tape
- (S679, BR103, BR80) Watercolor gear: a small palette or plate for mixing paint, brush for underlay wash and a triple zero brush
- (PL05 or PL28) Colored Pencils: I’ve listed Prismacolor Premiers and equivalent Faber Castell Polychromos. For our green blends, you need only one brand or pick and choose from the list.
