Exciting drawing class for both beginners and developed artists. Focus on the medium of graphite, in both pencil and powder form. While graphite is soluble in turpenoid it is also workable with both alcohol and water. It combines well with traditional drawing techniques and is extremely valuable as both a painting medium and in combination with other media, such as soft pastel and encaustic. Begin with traditional techniques and progress to contemporary applications. If you are captivated by the subtle richness of delicate grays or the range of powerful charcoal tones you can achieve, this class is for you!!

Reduction printing is one of the relief printmaking methods which Pablo Picasso brought to wider attention during mid 20th century. A multi-color print is created using only one block by cutting away more and more of the surface in between each color printing. This process allows the printmaker to print as many colors as he/she wishes yet only uses one block to print all the colors. With careful planning of the image before beginning to print, the final print will be somewhat of a surprise! $20 supply fee payable to instructor. Materials list online at www.arts-ed.org.
