Join us with Cristina who has created a lesson on the impact of strong contrast work. I would like to present to the group, the term “Chiaroscuro” (an Italian art word meaning ‘light – dark’).

“I have created a range of works in charcoal and pastel for the individuals in the group try in either charcoal and/or pastel as they choose.

I will be demonstrating the ‘gridding method’ of drawing to help the students with drawing proportion with greater accuracy.

As always, I’d like to emphasize that the students enjoy the process of creating, taking risks and learning, over the achievement of a perfect outcome”
