The charm of charcoal drawing lies in both its simplicity and its very forgiving nature. Come delve into the psychology of the draftsman, the line-work, and the strategy towards “letting go” and giving your hand the permission to execute what the brain wants without any fumbling. Here, we leave behind the stomp and work with a variety of brushes, charcoal points and white chalk.
Each morning, Teresa Oaxaca demonstrates and lectures on her method of capturing the figure on paper, using line work and anatomy as guides to capture the structural form. Topics such as value, form, expressive gesture, and mark making are discussed, along with the figure sketch’s relationship to art history and its use in painting and other applied arts.
