This three-day charcoal drawing workshop will include demonstrations as well as individual guidance and feedback. Kate will focus on the importance of placement accuracy, values, edges and textures, and the usefulness of photographic reference. She will show how she sets up, lights, and photographs a model. Students may also take new reference of the same model but can bring their own if they so desire. The class will start with a demonstration and discussion, then participants will be encouraged to work on their own drawings using the same process. Kate will lend assistance to each and every person. www.katezambrano.com

Zambrano, Kate

"Kate Zambrano is a fine artist based in California specializing in realistic portrait art and figurative art. Her work is a continual attempt to combine what she finds infinitely beautiful - vulnerability and strength together. After leaving Texas at age seventeen, Kate studied psychology briefly in college before discovering that she was, in fact, more fascinated with the subject than the actual career. She moved to New York where she began to work frequently as a model to explore a new path of imagination. She loved working with other creatives to build a fabricated atmosphere, but the vapidness and insecurity of the industry drove her to find “more”. These experiences shaped some of Kate’s biggest inspirations. Sometimes described as dark art, her work is a personal study of human psychology and complexity. She creates melancholic body languages and expressions, capturing the nuanced truth that we can’t help but communicate with our subtleties."
