Learn the ins and outs of Charcoal drawing!  Using Vine, Willow, Compressed, and Charcoal pencils students will test different mark-making techniques on a few different artworks in order to reveal shapes and textures.

Learn the benefits of wearing a latex-free glove whilst drawing to keep hands clean - your fingers are among the best tools for smearing and softening shadows! There’s even more - Heidi will guide students through the use of soft leather, smudge sticks, cotton swabs, and erasers.  Take your learned techniques and tricks home with you to continue your Charcoal journey, and discover what makes this fantastic medium so expressive and addictive!
