Learn to create realistic drawings with clarity and expressiveness. Students will use photographs and from-life references to explore the principles and techniques of how to render light and form to produce believable drawings in charcoal. Subjects will include portraits, still-life, landscapes, animals, etc. This course focuses on using charcoal as a medium and is not a technical drawing course. Geared towards beginners but open to all.
