M. Joy Lemon-Luminous Florals in Charcoal and Chalk

M. Joy Lemon - About the Artist

This workshop offers a deep dive into classical charcoal-and-chalk methods that transform simple flowers into glowing, three-dimensional works of art, and can also be applied to any subject of interest. Through guided demonstrations and focused individual support you will learn how to prepare materials, develop a solid block-in drawing, transfer your composition, identify and mass in shadow shapes, and softly turn form with sensitive, textureless shading, all while building your sensitivity to proportion and values. This workshop is open to all skill levels and especially recommended for previous students who desire to continue honing their skill.
