What you'll do
Charcoal is one of the most versatile and expressive mediums. Your tutor, Michael Simms, is a multi-award-winning artist based in Sydney whose work is characterized by dream-like depictions of the human figure. Classes will consist of drawing demonstrations, talks, and individual feedback. Students will paint from a combination of master copies, photographic references, and a live model.
Students will experiment with various techniques to capture still life, portraits, and the human figure. In a fun and relaxed environment, you will learn to explore:
- The essentials of tone
- How to build form and create volume
- Drawing warm-up exercises
- Basic anatomy, perspective, and proportion
- Expressive mark-making
- The fundamentals of composition
- Lighting, atmosphere, expression, and how to build confidence in your creative instincts
Become confident with quick, expressive approaches to charcoal drawing, as well as experimenting and working in layers.
