Thursdays October 22nd and 29th 6:30-9pm
Discover how approachable figure and portrait drawing can be in this hands-on charcoal workshop. Play with bold, experimental charcoal techniques as you create modern, expressive artwork to display in your home!
In Charcoal Figures: Learn to simplify the body into basic shapes, capture proportion and gesture, and use light and shadow to create form. Starting from loose figure sketches, you’ll learn approachable methods for understanding proportion and movement. We will go through a mix of dynamic sketching exercises designed to help you capture the essence of the human form with energy and style. Finish class with a refined contemporary figure drawing on a larger surface. Receive hands on guidance and feedback from your instructor along with live follow along demos through out class.
In Charcoal Portraits: Get ready to smudge, layer, erase, and experiment as a face gradually emerges from the page. We’ll explore both additive and subtractive charcoal techniques—building up rich darks, sweeping in expressive marks, and lifting charcoal away to reveal light, form, and personality. You’ll play with shapes, proportions, value, and shadow while learning how to bring a portrait to life through observation and instinct. Beginner-friendly, energetic, and designed for anyone who wants to loosen up, make a mess, and enjoy the magic of seeing a face appear before them. No previous drawing experience needed, and all materials are provided.
Register for one of the classes, or both classes as a series.
All supplies are included for use in class, and no prior experience necessary!
Recommended age 14 and up. Minors to be accompanied by adults with their own tickets.
