Bring your figure drawings to life with this hands-on workshop exploring mixed media techniques using charcoal, ink, acrylics, and collage. Start with charcoal drawing and learn techniques to capture the human form in motion. Then, experiment with India ink, exploring both dry and wet brush techniques to create expressive lines and brushwork. Finally, combine these skills with mixed media collage to build dynamic, layered compositions that push the boundaries of figurative art. Using a live model as your reference, you’ll have the freedom to loosen up, play, and take your work to new levels of expression and abstraction. Slide presentations of contemporary and historical artworks will provide inspiration for fresh approaches to your art.
