Ever wondered how to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space in your drawings? This workshop will introduce students to the tools and techniques to effectively translate the observation of three-dimensional objects onto the two dimensional paper surface. Have fun exploring the flexibility and gestural nature of charcoal while developing you observational drawing skills.
