Drawing the Portrait in Charcoal Workshop
This 3-hour workshop will begin with a 30-minute lecture/demonstration from the live model with a focus on foundational techniques and methods. We’ll explore how to see the sculptural structure of the head: its angles, planes, and proportions. You’ll learn to trust your eye, feel the form with your hand, and carve into space with charcoal. All skill levels are welcome. We’ll draw from the live model, play music, and end with a round-table conversation about what we learned, what we found challenging, and what surprised us!
Materials List
If you have used or imperfect supplies hanging around, feel free to bring those instead!
Anything can be used to create. Use the list below as a guide.
Suggested materials to bring: – – – – –

Where to get
Materials can be purchased at Blick in Tampa, Michael’s, Bottom of the Bin in Seminole (used
materials, super affordable, worth a look!) or online, though I highly encourage supporting our
