In this master class, you can explore value and temperature using various types of charcoal and blending techniques. Basic charcoal classes usually teach you how to get darks and highlights, but often forget to teach you how to use the rich blacks and lovely mid-tones that make your drawings look more realistic or rich. By the end of this workshop you will have the basic knowledge on how to have rich tones in their charcoal drawings.

Materials can be purchased for $35 at Plaza Artist Materials & Picture Framing (1009 Cathedral St, Baltimore, MD 21201).
