Charcoal sketching is the most efficient means of developing an ability to outline and simplify forms, model with light and dark and develop a sense of dramatic composition, and as such is often considered to be the basis of painting. All that with just 3 things; a stick of charcoal, a rubber and some paper! We will do several exercises to develop your observation skills that will serve you in good standing for any future drawing or painting you undertake.

Due to their quick drying and opaque covering qualities acrylics allow the painter to develop an intuitive sense of the negative image since forms can be lightened or darkened in hue at the stroke of a brush. Straddling aspects of oil and watercolour painting, it is excellent for quick sketches that can be worked and reworked easily and spontaneously.
