Learning how to draw from a live model is important but the majority of us can’t afford to hire a model to come to our home and pose for us everytime we want to work in the studio. This workshop will focus on how to translate a photograph into a beautiful drawing. We will be drawing on toned paper with white and black charcoal. Candice will give personalized instruction and work alongside students as they develop their own drawing.
