Some of the basics of drawing have been established. It is now time to push on and explore your potential. Charcoal drawing is a basic tool for beginning artists. Through use of different coloured, textured papers; the magic of a white charcoal pencil and the kneaded eraser; light and shade; cast shadows; smudging and layering, a more complex image emerges. Come and join a fun, experimental group that loves to chat and draw. Migara Ramanayake will professionally guide us, yet again, to draw what we didn't think we could.
