Beginner to Intermediate, Adults
Instructor: Patricia Rice
This Workshop is for anyone interested in developing their drawing skills. Whether you are a beginner or advanced student, amateur or professional artist, the results will be beyond your expectations. This workshop is a one-day opportunity to see the benefits of using this system and students will have the opportunity to join an ongoing, in depth class in the Winter. The Charles Bargue Drawing workshop was developed and widely used in the mid-19th century as a foundation exercise for fine art training. Throughout the years, it has been used by many great masters as an essential process in understanding the principles of shape, proportion, value and form. These drawings are more than just exercises; they form a system that prepares students to excel in painting and other artistic pursuits, all of which require the ability to build constructs, identify shapes, understand tonal value ranges, master complex lighting, and render forms. In addition, even though one is working in monochrome, developing one's ability to create strong value is the foundation for every great painting in color. The practicalities of the Bargue approach have a strong bearing on a range of modern disciplines, from animation and visual effects to gaming and tattoo artistry.

Many of my Zentangle students have seen me wearing my Tangled Shoes and have requested this workshop - so here we go! Bring a pair of white or light-colored shoes to be used as a blank canvas (black or dark colors won’t work with this method). After reviewing and learning tangles on paper (a previous Basic Zentangle class is helpful but definitely not required), you will apply the Tangles to your shoes – creating fabulously wearable art as unique as you!
