Charcoal Portrait
April 3 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
$195
This course is best suited for those who have a little experience with drawing and want to explore a different medium or venture into portraiture. Faces can present one of the ultimate challenges in the art world. I’ll teach you many different tips and tricks for what makes a true portrait different from a drawing of a face. Being that charcoal can have so many different effects and emotions coming from one medium. It’s one of the best tools for portraits. This is the perfect follow up course from my skeleton of Art course. Instructor: Katie Briggs. $195/person, $165.75/member.
