Art Workshop "Black & White"

Still life has always been a popular genre for artists–from students who are trying to learn the basics of drawing to seasoned artists who appreciate the subtleties of a good drawing.

In this workshop, you will learn how to draw inanimate objects and get to view the ordinary in a new light. No previous drawing experience necessary.

This still life workshop will deal with charcoal and pencil as a media.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: – Familiarity with materials – Drawing basics (line, shape, value) – Composition (subject choice, position, lighting)

About the artist:

“…Leon Oks, an American artist born in the Ukraine, both invites and defies comparison with modern masters.  Some see the influence of Fauve and Picasso in his works while others believe he has gone well beyond the boundaries established by these great 20th Century artists.
