Learn to Draw

CHARCOAL

Class Starts February 16, 2026

Exeter NH

You must have some drawing experience.

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 & blending techniques you can try. 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, pencil sharpener, 2 kneaded erasers, 9 x 12 newsprint pad, 9 x 12 charcoal paper pad, fixative spray, paper stumps, sandpaper pad for sharpening, and a small set of inexpensive paintbrushes. Also bring newspaper for under your work each week, paper towels, drawing pencil, waxed paper to protect your finished work, masking tape, drawing board (if you have one) or make one from a sheet of foam core (dollar store) cut in half & taped together on 3 sides (you can also use this to transport your finished artwork). Please wear clothing you do not mind getting dirty.
