Explore the expressive potential of charcoal in this focused two-session workshop dedicated to the art of portraiture. Designed for adults with a basic understanding of sketching, this workshop introduces the foundational techniques needed to bring faces to life through line, shadow, and form.

Participants will learn how to map facial proportions, apply shading, and use contrast and blending to create depth and dimension. The workshop also explores different types of charcoal, mark-making styles, and how to enhance realism through highlights and texture.

By the end of the series, each participant will complete a fully rendered charcoal portrait—developing greater confidence, control, and understanding of this powerful, emotive medium.
