The Magic of Charcoal • Demo / Workshop

A charcoal-focused workshop to show its versatility in mixed media applications on a range of elegant surfaces. Expressive demonstrations of treescapes will provide clarity and confidence to layer dry media with water-based paints (ink, watercolour, gouache, acrylics) and how to choose surfaces for desired techniques. Embrace lively discussions ranging from traditional to experimental, inspiration from nature, mixed media, digital scanning / archiving / framing final works, and why it's important to have a lot of fun in the process!
