Sunday, January 24th from 9:00AM-4:00PM Using pencil and charcoal, students will begin with observational sketches before developing a longer drawing through a structured process that emphasizes composition, proportion, simplified shapes, negative space, value, light, and spatial relationships. Instructor demonstrations and individual feedback will guide students in moving from large, simplified forms toward greater refinement while maintaining a sense of freshness and unity in the drawing. A simple watercolor wash will also be introduced as an optional way to reinforce value, add subtle color, and enhance the overall atmosphere of the finished work. $125 workshop fee does not include materials. A supply list with recommended materials can be found below the instructor bio. 6-hour Workshop Cost – Non-members: $125 / Members: $100 We will have an hour break for lunch midday.
