Teresa Oaxaca: The Charm of Charcoal. 3 Day Workshop: March 3-5, 2022
$400 + $50 model fee
Workshop hours are 9:30 am-4:30 pm
The charm of charcoal drawing lies in both its simplicity and its very forgiving nature. Come delve into the psychology of the draftsman, the linework, and the strategy towards "letting go" and giving your hand the permission to execute what the brain wants without any fumbling. Here we leave behind the stomp and work with a variety of brushes, charcoal points and white chalk.
In this two-day workshop Teresa will talk about and demonstrate her approach to drawing the human portrait in charcoal. A limited supply list will be used, the list and more instructions will become available after registration. Simple paper and vine charcoal will mostly do the trick. You likely will already have all the materials at home already. However, if you would like to explore further with inks and line widths, I will be encouraging you to try a variety of charcoals and chalks. Tools I will be demonstrating with will be vine charcoal, white chalk, compressed charcoal pencil and clean brushes dedicated to smudging and manipulating charcoal. Canson Mi-teintes will be the kind of the paper that I will be using.
