Trois crayon is a historic combination of three materials — charcoal, white chalk, and red conté — that when woven together can capture beautiful warmth and depth in a human face. Discover the fundamentals of observational drawing by working with photos of professional models and anatomy references. Topics covered will include proportions, comparative measurement, composition, and basic principles of form rendering. Lectures and demonstrations will be held on live on Zoom for a maximum of 2.5 hours/day. The instructor will use the remainder of class to answer questions, work alongside students, and provide individual critiques via digital drawing tools.
Spring quarter 2020 classes will be held online.

  • Toned drawing paper, 3 sheets of 11x14 inch or larger.
  • My recommendation is tan/beige or blue/grey in color. Ideally, the paper is medium-smooth in texture, no less than 80 lbs weight, and dedicated as “drawing” or “pastel” paper. Suggested brands: Strathmore Toned Tan Sketch Paper, Canson Mi-teintes Pastel Sheet in Felt Grey (sold in 19x25 inch sheets) or any similar paper from Stonehenge or Hahnemuhle. It’s artist’s choice!

  • General’s compressed charcoal pencil - medium
  • Red (sanguine) conté - 2 sticks
  • Pitt pastel pencil (Venetian red) - #190
  • Pitt pastel pencil (white) - #101
