Fun with Faces…

We start the new year with a talented artist who is new to our roster of teachers. Come learn with Monica as she reveals the secrets of drawing with this portrait of a beautiful girl.

Create beautiful facial contours and the texture of hair with graphite and charcoal pencils in this medium you may not have tried before. She promises this project will amaze you – it is easier than it looks!

Happy New Year! Happy learning new things…
