Learn how to work on black paper, how to create vibrant colors on a dark background, and how to capture the reflective nature of glass.
A dark background adds drama to a still-life, and by using black paper the background is already completed! Glass objects absolutely sparkle on sanded black paper. You'll have fun creating these colorful antique bottles with its good contrast between light and dark values, and its interesting reflections, shapes, and colors.
Pajama classes are better than books, better than tutorials and tons better than endlessly watching YouTube videos. Pajama classes are live. You can ask questions. You get answers! And feedback! Wow! It’s almost like a real live workshop, only without having to pack and unpack all your supplies.

Glass bottles
I really enjoyed Carmen’s class. I have never worked on black paper with colored pencils. Carmen taught the class with enthusiasm and detailed steps. Her instruction was easy to follow. She gave me more confidence in using colored pencils as a medium. I would definitely take another class with her.

Great Teacher!
I loved the Colorful Antique Bottle Class. I learned helpful techniques in a step-by-step format. Carmen presented these steps in a perfect pace for beginners and experienced color pencil artists. She delivered her class in a clear, understandable langage and always asked if we had questions. She gave the impression that she was there for you and made certain that you heard and understood her. When I provided my drawing in Padlet, she was quick to comment on it which helped me going forward. I highly recommend Carmen as a teacher and plan to take all the classes she offers.

All that glitters IS glass!!
I loved Carmen’s approach to capturing glass . In shapes.. like a puzzle.. but more than that .. the black paper provides a boost in depth that is a tip I’ll use over and over. I loved Carmen’s steady pace as well. Highly recommend to anyone wanting more tools in your box!! Totally enjoyed it… THANKS Carmen!!
