SUMMARY:DEMO -Helen McCusker- Intro to the Procreate App-Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The Procreate App – currently for iPads and iPhones – is a user-friendly\, alternative to more costly and complicated graphics programs and is quickly becoming the program of choice for artists. Sketch\, paint and edit your own digital art\, or use the app to help compose\, select a colour scheme or identify the colours in your photo reference \, or edit your painting on the app without messing up your original art. Helen will begin with a short slideshow featuring samples of her work done with Procreate and discuss techniques and features. Similar programs exist even if you don’t have an Apple product. \n\n\n\n Helen has worked as an Art Instructor for over 25 years\, specializing in Drawing and Painting – particularly Portraits and Figurative work

SUMMARY:Interactive Demo - Nora MacPhail - Charcoal portrait
DESCRIPTION:Arrive at 6 pm to set up and we will start at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCharcoal is a beautiful medium which creates lovely silvery-greys. Willow charcoal will suit us perfectly as we draw together during our portrait workshop. A kneaded eraser will allow us to create light values\, giving our drawings structure. Working this way\, with dry mediums\, is almost like sculpting! The finer lines and subtle details can be found with charcoal pencils. Finally\, optional touches of soft pastel create sparkles of light\, making the highlights pop! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPaint along with amazing artist and teacher Nora MacPhail. She will demonstrate and we will do our best to repeat. Don’t worry – she will go in slow\, small steps\, until ultimately we’ve each produced our own masterpiece. Nora will provide colour photos for everyone to work from and will bring a few soft pastels to add a hint of colour if you wish. \n\n\n\nMATERIALS LIST –  Drawing Board\, Charcoal Pencil\, Willow Charcoal – Medium sticks\, Kneaded Eraser\,  Newsprint Paper\,  Paper Towel \n\n\n\nBe sure to check the label on the box of your Willow Sticks\, the Small are too small and the Large are too big. I recommend Medium. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLocation is the John McKenzie House\, 34 Parkview Avenue\, North York \n\n\n\nZoom will be available for out-of-town members \n\n\n\nMore Information to follow
