This course aims to empower students with a tonal approach to drawing using graphite pencil, enabling them to bring richness and depth to their artwork. Led by instructor Mary, students will learn the fundamentals of tonal graphite technique, from the initial toning of the paper to the art of laying in darks and lifting highlights. The course will cover essential materials and techniques including layering, burnishing, and erasure.
