Don Michael demonstrates at figure drawing class




As part of my exhibition in December of figure drawings, I took one of my classes on a series of field trips to the Charlotte Art League.  At the League my students were exposed to drawing with experienced artists.  Last week, Don Michael demonstrated a new technique for the class.  He had the students use a wound piece of paper to distance the pastel from their hands.  This caused them to make subtle, light marks.  The results were fantastic as you can see by the drawings above.  These are three students from the class, each 2nd quarter students at the Art Institute of Charlotte: Chris Ross, Chelsea Clay, and Talia Najera.
