Expressive Drawing Workshops with Jody Graham | 6. Value + Mass
Course Overview
A series of monthly workshops to help you understand and learn exciting, expressive drawing skills. Each workshop will focus on a particular area of drawing and artmaking, which will expand your mind, creative knowledge and talent to all the wonderful things drawing can be! Monthly subjects are selected to support individual artistic development and focus on evolving a solid skill base. This course is designed for people who want to learn how to draw and for those that want to dedicate themselves to an ongoing creative exploration of drawing. These one-day workshops are held in a concentrated drawing and painting environment, designed to activate and expand on your passion to draw and create.
This session’s theme | Value + Mass
Tonal Drawing, exploring the magnificence of expressing yourself using tone only, using different surfaces and coloured ground to draw on.
Value drawing can also be called “mass drawing”. Mass drawing defines the volume of the form and play of light on it. “Value” simply refers to how light or dark an object or area is. A drawing is said to be a value drawing when it is in black and white and the shades of grey in between the two are called values or tones.
