Join this drawing workshop for a review of basic drawing techniques. We will explore the use of drawing pencils, such as HB, 4B, 6B, and the importance of value range, shading and blending techniques. “To Grid or Not to Grid”, that’s a good question! Some like it; some don’t. We will discuss stress free ways to begin a portrait. Donna Merchant’s drawings are superb and she will be sharing her techniques with you. This workshop will be held at the Canterbury Woods Community Center in Lake Ridge, VA. Participation is free, but spots are limited. Registration Opens on June 17th.
