Discover the art of charcoal portrait drawing in this engaging workshop designed for adult beginners. You will be guided step-by-step through traditional methods without the use of grids or tracing, making it an authentic and rewarding experience.
The session introduces you to the Andrew Loomis approach, focusing on measuring, facial features, shapes, value, edges, and shading techniques. Even if you are new to charcoal, you will receive supportive tuition to help you achieve a strong likeness in your portrait.
This workshop is perfect for those with some prior drawing experience who want to deepen their skills and explore realistic portraiture.
The workshop is led by Cindy MacDonald, an experienced artist who will share her materials, methods, and techniques. The class size is kept small to ensure personalized attention and optimum support.
You will work from scratch to create a simple, realistic charcoal portrait using traditional drawing skills. The focus will be on foundational concepts that build your confidence and artistic ability.
