You will learn how to draw imaginative faces, without needing to know anything about portraiture. Using charcoal, a super forgiving medium, you will produce 4 striking portraits, led by the teacher step-by-step. 

During the workshop, you will play with a multitude of eccentric ways of using charcoal, the eraser, your fingers, and a napkin, and find out how to control facial expressions, establish key focus areas, and practice a simple way to draw eyes, noses, lips, etc. This workshop is perfect for those who want to discover the potential of spontaneous creativity!
