Graphite Portrait

Our lesson will be a portrait focused on light and shadow, as well as the nuance of rhythm and geometry that are fundamental to good composition. Participants will be encouraged to work with a limited palette to focus on the values of their drawing. The goal of this workshop is to get the participants to understand the underlying elements of a strong composition.
