About this event

Art Classes Workshops Arts & Culture

Join instructor Matthew Grimmer for a 2-session crash course in charcoal drawing. Students will learn the basics of building up a drawing using the properties unique to the medium. Students will learn to draw from life using a still-life setup by the instructor. In the first session, we focus on building loosely and identifying shapes and measurements early on, to establish a strong base for the second session. Here, we will finish our drawing by learning techniques such as line weight, shading, and creating an illusion of depth. This workshop is ideal for anyone looking to explore a new medium or learn to draw from life.  This 2-day workshop will be held from 4:30-8 pm on Tuesday, April 28 & Wednesday, April 29 in the Idonea Hersee Classroom at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway in Mount Pleasant Recommended age: 14 and up Please note: An active membership is not required to register. Active members receive a 15% discount on classes.
