Drawing with Charcoal – one day workshop

Explore different approaches to charcoal drawing in this one-day class. During the session you'll build your confidence and the skills required to use this versatile and expressive medium. You'll begin by discussing techniques and experimenting with the application of charcoal before progressing to a composition of your own. You're encouraged to bring photographs, such as landscapes or holiday pictures for example, and objects to work from if you want to make your painting more personal.
