LEARN TO DRAW IN CHARCOAL
Class starts on January 22, 2024
This is a drawing class for those of you who would like to learn the secrets of this wonderful medium, and those of you who may have some experience but want to learn more. This class will teach you the difference between different types of charcoal and blending techniques. Each class will start with samples of art created in charcoal and I will teach you: how to make different marks, linear & side strokes, ways to blend white and black charcoals on various supports, using your erasers to pull out highlights. Charcoals are very versatile and you can create simple or complex drawings.
WHAT TO BRING
Charcoal set with compressed charcoal, charcoal pencils in black and white, vine charcoal, 2 kneaded erasers, 9 x 12 newsprint pad, 9 x 12 charcoal paper pad, fixative spray, paper stumps, pencil sharpener, sandpaper pad for sharpening. Also bring newspaper for under your work each week, paper towels, drawing pencil, roll of waxed paper, masking tape, drawing board if you have one, or make one from a sheet of foam core cut in half & taped together. Please wear clothing you do not mind getting dirty.
I have created a Wish List on Dick Blick if you would like to consult it for the types of supplies needed. You do NOT need to order from them. You can find similar items on Amazon.
