8 June 2008 | My workshop in Atlanta
At the end of my exhibition in Atlanta, I will be teaching a two day workshop at Chastain Art Center
Dynamic and Emotional Figure Workshop
This workshop, will explore capturing a dynamic and emotional figures and portraits using a subtractive process. Methods for working back into pieces will be discussed and demonstrated. Working in charcoal and conté, this two-day workshop will focus on capturing the immediacy of a live model with a strong sculptural approach.
