We made an A3 page of experimental masking, mark making and mark removing to give a sense of what charcoal can do.
This was followed by making several, small, observational drawings of a guitar and case set up as a still life. The nearby chairs, curtain ties and fretwork radiator covers were included for drawing too.
Once made, the smaller drawings were grouped into cubism-like compositions, giving us the opportunity to talk about the work of Braque and Picasso.
Charcoal can be a tricky beast, particularly working small scale. I'm fortunate to have been able to practise since my student days others here, although not totally new to charcoal, have not. They managed brilliantly.
