A great day was had by all who participated in the charcoal workshop.
The group was expertly guided along by Deborah Wood, a very experienced artist, who has both exhibited and taught art for many years as well as possessing a PHD in fine art.
Deb explained in simple steps how to use the wonderfully black charcoal and the eraser to achieve great results. An abstract exercise to explore creating the illusion of shape with light and shade moved on to a still life.
 The session concluded with learning face drawing. There was general surprise and satisfaction among the budding artist with the quality of their work. The participants walked away with 3 very professionally looking drawings and new enthusiasm about making art. - photos & text: Sanne Malkaer |  |
