This is a fun activity in Altrincham, Manchester
Join us for a relaxing pencil and charcoal drawing workshop in Altrincham, where you’ll learn essential drawing techniques and create your very own expressive artwork to take home.
Never picked up a charcoal stick before? No problem! This workshop is perfect for beginners and seasoned sketchers alike, whether you're looking for a new creative outlet or want to level up your drawing skills in a friendly, supportive space.
What to expect:
- Led by professional artist Ava, you'll start with the fundamentals of pencil drawing -- exploring line, shading, blending, and cross-hatching.
- Then you'll dive into the bold and dynamic world of charcoal, learning how to build contrast, texture, and atmosphere.
-- Ava will guide you through each step as you work on your subject — from portraits to still lifes, landscapes, or floral studies.
- You’ll get hands-on with a variety of materials like graphite pencils, charcoal sticks, conte crayons and powders -- all provided for you.
By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with new drawing techniques under your belt, a completed piece (or one in progress), and a deeper understanding of light, form, and texture. Plus, you’ll receive an exclusive discount for Ava’s virtual course so you can keep the creativity flowing at home!
