Charcoal drawing – June 2023
“Detailed exploration of charcoal and two challenging projects.

With charcoal being one of my own favourite materials I always look forward to teaching this 1-day workshop. I love the way charcoal so easily engages students and encourages them to be bolder and more expressive than they may otherwise be. The drawing results were amazing and I enjoyed supporting this small but lovely group of students.
