Because the pencil is such a basic tool, people underestimate its magical powers. The pencil offers a wide range of tone and line weight allowing the artist to create without a cadre of tools.
In this newly developed workshop, Miriam will guide you as we explore the diverse and exciting possibilities when working with the pencil using forms from nature.
Through a series of exercises we will create:
A tonal test strip
A texture and pattern chart
A forms from nature guide
A finished piece of art
You will learn how and when to use erasers, blenders and different lead softness. We will also discuss the luxurious results using different drawing papers.
Miriam has designed this workshop to enable all levels of artists to receive value. $45. 1-3:30

Come paint with Jeanne-Marie Webb
If you are in the North Carolina area and would like to meet me
in person and would like to paint with me for a few hours, then pop on over.
We have opened up an afternoon slot so we can paint together.
I will be sharing a demonstration of how I am inspired by a reference,
image or sculpture and how I would use it intuitively in my painted pieces
and how they take on a life of their own.
There is something so beautiful about peers painting together and
sharing together and I look forward to doing this with you.

Class description
During this 5-day course, we will be working on creating highly expressive portraits in acrylic paints. Beginning with charcoal portraits to explore shadows and light, mark making and expression we will then move onto the glorious medium of oil painting on canvas.
My own work focusses not on creating perfection but in representing the spirit of humanity with layers, expressive mark making and use of colour and contrast.
We will be exploring great contrasts of dark and light, atmosphere, expression, composition and surface. We will also be thinking about portraying emotion and the human spirit in our work to create atmospheric and expressive representations of ourselves and others. You will create several drawings and portrait paintings and finish the week with a host of tips to further develop your own portrait paintings.
This class is for those with some portrait painting experience.
(We are hoping to have a live model to work from in the studio!)
Workshop cost for 5 full days $750.
