Visiting Artist Workshop: Creating a Tonal Image in Charcoal and Paint  

July 27, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

$250.00
Creating a Tonal Image in Charcoal and Paint  
Saturday, July 27
1 – 5 pm (4 – 5 pm critique session)
North Studio
Class Limit: 16
$250   Member discounts may not be applied to this special workshop.
 
In this workshop we will learn the basics of charcoal drawing to get a quick impression of any image. These skills are crucial for planning tonal schemes in drawing and painting. The same basics can be applied to drawing in paint. The backbone of a quick painting is a good drawing with organized values. We will make a monotone drawing in paint using the same principles of charcoal. These skills will be enormously helpful in all varieties of quick sketch. 
 
Please bring the following supplies:
Vine or willow charcoal (paper and canvas to be supplied by me)
Small tube of raw umber oil paint 
A few brushes of varying size. One of those little brush kits at hobby lobby is fine. 
A small bottle of Gamsol or Odorless mineral spirit of your choice. 
 
Visiting Artist: Ananda Fetherston, a Slater, Iowa born fine artist, was educated under Jacob Collins at the Grand Central Atelier in New York City. She has exhibited in New York where she lives with her husband, a fellow painter. In addition to oil painting and drawing, Ananda is a printmaker. 
 
Ananda will also be teaching a workshop on Thursday, July 25, Creating a Precise Linear Drawing for Painting.
