The relationships between the intuitive and rational aspects of drawing/seeing are explored in this workshop. We’ll work with close observation and staged processes to achieve a high level of representation.
Emphasis is placed on the underlying principles of form comprehension, proportion, perspective and schema to inform and support a clarity of vision. We’ll explore a variety of subjects and scale and draw from direct observation including still life and portraits.
Charocal is a unique media in its flexibility and directness, allowing one a participation with subject that is relaively unencumbered by "crafty" or "how to" approaches that can often substitute for direct engagement.
