Go to the Official Website for my Workshops

Find out more about this Workshop

My next 1 Day Workshop coming up is the Graphite Pencils where I will be showing you how to create fur realism using this Ring-tailed Lemur image as the subject. Working using my own 'Blend & Erase' technique, this Workshop is open to anyone wishing to learn about working with Graphite pencils regardless of current Artistic skills, even if you have never used Graphite in Art before. Graphite pencils are a wonderful medium allowing you to create some highly detailed, even photo realistic effects and as there is no use of colour, Graphite pencil Art really adds strength and drama to a subject.

This Workshop will show you, whether an absolute Beginner or an Intermediate:

* Where to begin with a Graphite portrait
* How to prepare your Graphite piece to achieve very fine details
* The best ways to blend Graphite
* How to layer a Graphite Portrait
* How to create the tones in a Graphite portrait

Working on my Lemur

What is included in the day:
*The Support paper
*Reference photograph
*Photocopy of subject for Tracedown use
*Worksheets for the subject
*List of medium Do's & Dont's for future reference
