This workshop teaches ancient European shading techniques for charcoal, a fragile yet bold drawing medium. Charcoal has been used by European Masters for ages and it has the unique properties to transform your emotions onto paper. Charcoal, which consists of burned vine and/or willow branches can be both sharp and soft.
This workshop is good for the beginner, those returning to their art activities, those who would like to experiment with vine charcoal and/or learn Master Techniques.
Materials: a box of vine & willow charcoal, ¼” diameter or thicker (in this class we are not using compressed charcoal), a kneaded rubber eraser, a chamois, paper stumps and/or tortillons and a sketchpad. You can use Newsprint and/or medium grade sketch paper. Minimum paper size for this course: 18x24.

She has made a name for herself as a portrait painter. Throughout the years she has taught at community colleges and at her own studio. Christine's website: christinehaenen.com
