Advanced Graphite Techniques with Deb Shaw
The world of graphite continues to expand! This workshop explores a variety of applications with traditional pencils as well as with new graphite media, including water-soluble graphite, graphite dust, liquid graphite and interesting papers/surfaces! Using Fall botanicals as subjects, learn how to create deep ranges of tonal values; white or light veins and hairs on dark petals and leaves; large areas of smooth, even tones; and detailed textures. Experiment with adding subtle color. These techniques work on paper, vellum and film. We will share some specialized supplies in class, and hand out individual goody bags of specialty supplies to try during the workshop and then take home (powdered graphite, water-soluble graphite, samples of interesting surfaces and more!). Beginners, intermediate and advanced artists are all welcome.
