SOLD OUT: Charcoal Wild Dog Workshop with Bev in Knysna (Sat 31 August 2024)
A guided hands on charcoal workshop focused on application through the various tones to the deepest dark and lifting out the light. You’ll learn basic observation of your subject as well as tonal values and how to use light to make it pop
What attendees will learn:
Charcoal is a very forgiving medium allowing you to change any area you’re unhappy with throughout the drawing phase. In this class you will learn how to apply powder, vine & compressed Charcoal. We’ll discuss how to measure the subject to ensure we have the correct proportions of the face and neck. We will discuss different ways of blending, achieving tonal values and layering from the lightest to the deepest darks required to ensure our subject pops. We’ll explore different methods to obtain a fur like texture and work on the eye area which will be our focal point. This will enable you to explore your own subjects on your own.
