This workshop will feature both short and long pose charcoal drawings from live models. Different techniques, including composition, values, form, line, shape, and massing, will be introduced and practiced in class. Students will also be encouraged to find their own way of seeking beauty from each pose, and interpret what they find with their personal artistic approach instead of just copying.
