6. The Magic of Charcoal

 

This is a fun and inspiring drawing workshop that will push you into new directions and expand your charcoal drawing and mark making skills. The class starts with a series of structured exercises to encourage new ways to see and think about all the possibilities drawing with charcoal can offer.

Projects in this class explore the power and subtleties that can be achieved with both compressed and willow charcoal. 

Drawing ideas demonstrated and taught will increase your knowledge about line, tone, composition and what to look for when developing your creative voice
