Adolph Menzel: A Mastercopy

Lizet Dingemans

In this session, Lizet Dingemans dives into the world of 19th-century master Adolph Menzel with a vibrant pastel pencil mastercopy. Using a refined palette—including Caran d’Ache’s Eggshell, Perylene Brown, and Dark Green, alongside Faber-Castell’s earthy tones—she brings Menzel’s nuanced handling of colour and light to life. As you draw along, you’ll explore how carefully layered hues and confident mark-making can evoke texture and form with striking immediacy.
