Drawing Skills: Glass on Toned Paper

Expand your drawing skills with this workshop!. We will explore the options for drawing on grey papers using both white and black drawing materials. We will discover how to depict transparent or reflective surfaces, with their highlights and shadows. The concepts of value, shading, contrast and line quality will be covered. This is an all levels class, but some experience with still life or drawing from observation is helpful.
