As artists we are not reporters, we are poets. We see differently, interpret differently, and share the world through our eyes putting
a part of us in every work of art we do. It’s time to stop copying and start expressing your inner voice. Join Zan Barrage to explore
the limits of design and composition in our two-dimensional world. All media are welcome.

VINTAGE PORTRAITS IN CHARCOAL
Charcoal is a wonderfully malleable “transition” medium and is the perfect first step towards blending and painting techniques. In
this course we’ll work with the principles of realism but push our range of values to create drama and movement. We’ll work with
the smudges and strokes of charcoal to create a much more spontaneous and “painterly” effect. See Foundations of Realism: Skill
