Myriam: An online portrait drawing session
Lizet Dingemans
In this session, Lizet Dingemans will be working with model Myriam to build the portrait using shapes rather than lines. With willow charcoal on white paper, blending tools like a hog brush and Sofft knife, and an optional compressed charcoal pencil, Lizet will give tricks and tips on how to create form and depth by focusing on tonal shapes for a softer, more dimensional effect.
