Drawing the Light workshop. Saturday Sept 14th, 1-3pm in the Oxford Municipal Building, 11 Green St., Oxford NJ. Instructor: Carl Ohlson.

Have you ever wanted to add drama to your drawings? Or use the drama of light to create eye catching compositions? Now is your chance. Just join me in this drawing workshop in which we will reverse the traditional drawing style of using a black pencil on light paper to a white pencil on dark paper! Essentially sketching the way light falls on the subject while leaving the shadow areas the paper color. The resulting contrasting effect will give the artist's drawing visual impact!
The first 18 attendees to register will be given a white charcoal pencil, dark drawing paper, small kneaded eraser, small pencil sharpener, tortillion paper blending stump & reference photos. Upon completion of the workshop, attendees will have an *'x5" warmup drawing (on dark professional drawing paper) plus a larger drawing on 8.5" x 11" professional dark drawing paper. Hopefully you will be inspired to explore creating more drawing- subjects using this technique.
Participants need to bring::
-
Surface to use as a drawing board (like a piece of 9x12" foam core)
- extra kneaded eraser
-
a few tissues for blending
-
extra paper blending stumps.

Come enjoy a day FULL of art! We'll start the day (8:30am -9am) with a light continental breakfast, then dive right into painting like Bob Ross with this gorgeous Black & White oil painting taught by certified Bob Ross instructor Chris Severn (Let's Paint a Picture). All materials needed will be supplied. This class is perfect for beginners & advanced alike. Chris will take us through each step along the way and you will go home with a work of art that you will be proud to display.
Next we'll enjoy a buffet lunch from Brass Castle Market where you can chat with fellow class mates as well as your workshop instructors. In the afternoon session (1pm -4pm) we will learn about the art of Needle Felting. This workshop will be taught by Samantha Matthews - Owner of Propagate Studios in Stewartsville, NJ and we will have the opportunity to create a lovely 2D felted image as well as a 3D figure just using wool and a needle. Again all materials needed for this workshop will be supplied.
Unbelievable that your fee for the day includes breakfast, lunch, beverages, a full day of art instruction as well as supplies and a few surprises! But it does and that is thanks in part to funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
