Discover the Pleasure of Charcoal Drawing

Workshop Fee: $115.00 includes all art supplies.
Spend an enjoyable day exploring the many possibilities of working with this simple but dramatic art medium while honing your drawing skills.

Composition, shading, highlights and aerial perspective will also be reviewed as students learn basic colour theory while experiencing confidence in creating with pastels. Participants may register for all three Workshops or individual Saturdays of their choice. Each Workshop will have new projects for participants to be inspired and complete. Workshops suitable for both Beginner and Intermediate Artists.
