Charles and Emma Frye collected many portraits, including ones of children, celebrities, artists, and even of themselves! Join me as we explore two portraits in the Frye’s collection before getting our hands dirty, literally. Then, we’ll draw portraits of our own!
Materials you will need:
-
A charcoal stick/black oil pastel/black crayon (any of these drawing materials are ok!)
-
Drawing paper (scrap paper, brown paper bags, or any blank paper)
Interested in learning more technical skills related to portrait drawing using charcoal? Check out this video which shows how a portrait drawing is created from start to finish.
