Emma Stibbon ran an all-day life drawing workshop, experimenting with charcoal, paint and ink. I thought the life model was particularly good at holding interesting, long poses and she has amazing hair! My favourite technique is in charcoal starting with a grey background because I find this makes my drawing less linear and I enjoy focusing on where the light hits rather than just where shadows fall. I liked experimenting with white paint on a black background too but found this more challenging, however, I would love to try painting in this way with more time.
