Drawing   

Sculpt form and light with your eraser in this figure drawing workshop! Subtractive drawing is a technique that involves covering your paper with charcoal or graphite and lifting out your lights using an eraser. This creates an atmospheric image and allows the artist to develop a full value range much more quickly than other drawing techniques. We will work primarily from a single long pose. Prior life drawing experience encouraged but not necessary.
