Make bold and dynamic black and white drawings with charcoal! This series will introduce drawing with charcoal, a very painterly medium that is ideal for exploring ideas and capturing observations quickly. We will focus on mark making, value, and contrast, while learning techniques for creating soft and atmospheric effects as well as sharp lines and hard edges. Each session will take place off-site at Kim’s studio and participants will leave with the inspiration and skills to continue drawing. 

Participants will learn:

  • Materials, techniques and tools for drawing with charcoal

  • Multiple ways to start a drawing

  • Basic shading/rendering techniques using additive and subtractive processes

  • Basic approaches to create spatial illusion using atmospheric and linear perspective

  • Safe and responsible handling of equipment and materials

Charcoal Drawing Kit: $25 includes 2 charcoal pencils, 3 compressed charcoal sticks, 4 willow charcoal sticks, sharpener, kneaded eraser, 1 Alphacolor brand Char-kole soft charcoal, 2 retractable white erasers (small and medium size), 1 Magic Rub eraser, 5 sheets of Borden & Riley 100% Rag Marker Paper
