Artists today face a wide and often confusing array of drawings materials. Regardless of whether an artist is working in a traditional or modernist manner the selection of the most appropriate drawing material effects the quality of the finished work as well as the quality of the drawing experience for the artist. This FREE workshop will explore characteristics of a variety of drawing media and how the individual characteristics are suited in context with a variety of drawing venues.

This is a FREE workshop with Faber-Castell Artist Don Colley. Find out more about his artwork in this cool Faber-Castell video of Don Colley doing on site urban sketching: "This video features our Creative Academy artist Don Colley doing life drawings around the city of Cleveland - on an RTA train, at the West Side Market, and in Public Square. Done in a bold and vibrant style the 4.29 minute long video captures the excitement of the city as inspiration, while showing off the versatility of PITT artist pens for on-the-go artwork. (Faber-Castell recently received its first ever ADDY award for this video.)"

Topics to be covered in this two hour FREE workshop will include:

* Sketching as a way of seeing and preparing.
* Matching materials to visual effect... a survey of materials and their properties and when to use them (e.g. for figurative studies, still lifes, on paper, on canvas). * Values; creating form and establishing light with value development.
* Expressing an individual artistic statement by the marks you make.
