Roll up your sleeves and embrace the medium - charcoal is textural, tonal and subtle. You will have the opportunity to observe demonstrations from Andrew and receive personalised feedback whilst you experiment.


In this one-day workshop you will be exploring the richness and depth of this wonderful medium and how you can express your ideas using the unique qualities that charcoal has to offer. This is a class where any level of experience with drawing is welcome.
If you have never experimented with charcoal drawing, this is an excellent place to start. If you are an experienced charcoal artist, Andrew's workshop will allow you to further develop your techniques and introduce new methods of developing your personal imagery.
You will be shown techniques of blending, toning and texturing. The best use of willow charcoal, compressed charcoal and conte crayon will be shown. Erasing techniques will also be demonstrated to create subtlety of light and dark.
All materials are supplied. Please ensure to bring an apron.
