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.
Photography
If you would like to work from your own photograph please contact Candice before the start of the workshop to discuss how to take a photograph that will produce optimal results.
