Charcoal Portrait / Life Drawing Workshop with Judy Drew
Friday 12 March 2027
Overview
Date: Fri 12 March, 10am - 4pm
This workshop will be about drawing a life model using charcoal. Today we have the freedom to draw without worrying about colour choices.
The workshop will be about fine tuning your observational skills. We will learn to measure with the eye and develop an awareness of light and dark areas - necessary when creating a successful work.
Charcoal offers a wide scope of techniques. It can be used sensitively with a light touch or much more robustly with broad sweeping strokes and a heavier use of charcoal.
It will be fun!
Price: $315.00
If you cancel, a full refund will be given after a replacement registration is received.
