FUNDAMENTALS IN DRAWING
2 DAY WORKSHOP
With Charity Hubbard
This workshop is perfect for someone who is seeking a solid foundation and understanding of drawing fundamentals. Students will be instructed in life measuring technique, the behavior of light and shadow upon structure, edges, seeing light to dark values accurately, and how to make round objects appear realistic instead of flat. Charity is passionate about imparting an understanding of structure on a deeper level. Students will get their feet wet with some great exercise work, then work on a beautiful drawing in charcoal/white pastel pencil. References will be provided both for the drawings and exercise work. The lessons are intentionally selected from Charity's Rogue Classical Atelier program of study that has been approved by Art Renewal Center.
Students are encouraged to reach out to Charity to inform her of their specific goals and genre's of choice. (Ex. still life, portraiture, figures, landscape, animals) Students can email Charity at classicalartlessons@gmail.com

FOUNDATIONS OF PORTRAIT PAINTING
The Foundations of Portrait Painting
Instructor Charity Hubbard​
​
​​​​​This workshop will be beneficial towards understanding of facial structure and how the plains of the face turn in the light. It will also present a user friendly step by step process, complete with handouts, references and online studies from Charity's program of study coursework that has been approved by Art Renewal Center. Artists can plan to leave feeling much more competent in Portraiture, armed with newly learned tools and resources and a fully or mostly completed portrait painting along with some exercise work.
If you have never oil painted before and don't feel adept in your drawing skills, it is recommended that you take Charity's Fundamental's in Drawing Track. If you are experienced in drawing and understanding of light/shadow and light/dark values, but feel shaky in your understanding of color theory and paint mixing, working in monochrome or simple temperature study might be encouraged. If you have solid understanding of light/dark values, warm and cool temperature, identifying chroma and have had some experience in mixing oil paint, working in the Zorn palette would be a great choice for you.
