Experimenting with Charcoal
with Dita Carley, May 11

Charcoal is one of the oldest of drawing tools.  In Prehistoric times artists from all over the world would pick up charcoal from their fires and draw on their cave walls.  Charcoal is a fluid and versatile medium and is wonderfully flexible and lends itself to all types of drawing styles.

This Workshop is for both beginners and experienced students. In the first half, you’ll be experimenting with the various applications of charcoal.  You’ll learn how to use addition and subtraction methods, along with manipulating darks & lights to create a sense of depth on a flat plane.  You’ll have the option of working from a Still Life, or from another subject of your choice.
