Info: We're going to have a series of four workshops but not necessarily interconnected. First were going to be working on the use of the pencil on the paper & how to use the rubber as a tool, not only to erase. Then we're going to look into the construction of the head & face, then we're going to look into shading. In the second workshop were going to be drawing on Blue/grey pastel paper so we can use white to bring out highlights.
For more experienced artists, I'm going to show you how to hone your craft.
