SUBJECTS: HORSE & PET PORTRAITS

Discover the expressive and dynamic medium of charcoal in our Charcoal Drawing Art Class, suitable for artists of all levels! This comprehensive course covers essential techniques, from basic mark-making and shading to advanced rendering and composition. You'll learn how to create depth, contrast, and texture while exploring form, line, and pattern in the subjects of the horse and a pet**. Whether you're a beginner eager to learn the basics or an experienced artist looking to enhance your skills, Isabelle will provide personalized guidance and support in a friendly, creative environment.

**Bring a paper photograph (ideally on 8 1/2" x 11" paper, do not rely on your phone) of your subject if you would like to paint a specific portrait. Photographs of animal portraits will be available to students.

All materials are provided for an additional $10 fee to artist — or bring your own, along with your enthusiasm for drawing!
