In this workshop students will be introduced to the process of creating a landscape drawing in charcoal. Working from a photo, we'll capture the forms and features of the outdoor environment.
Observing major shapes to create a strong composition will be explained and demonstrated. Emphasis will be also placed on studying the direction of the sunlight and the shapes of light and shadow it creates throughout the scene.
Students are free to work from any photograph they choose as a reference
