Why this workshop?
I could see artists struggling during the pandemic and losing their creative way. Sometimes we just feel like we don’t know how to get out of a creative rut. Everything we make is boring. It’s the same thing over and over again. Might as well give up if I can’t create something new or innovative.… right?

Why THIS workshop?
Regardless of how much expertise and motivation we may have, if we don't know how to tell a story as we develop new ideas, we will never grow as artists.
You will learn to create by generating new ideas, visualizing, looking ahead, considering the possibilities. You will learn to evaluate by analyzing and judging, picking apart ideas and sorting them into piles of good and bad, useful and useless.

You will learn to use the tools to come up with lots of ideas first, and then judge their worth later. You will learn to tell a story,

Welcome to Drawing by Subtraction®
My instructional trademarked workshop will help enhance your knowledge of value and texture. You will rediscover and use a range of values to visually define objects, create contrast and render the intricate details of light and shadow within your colored pencil drawing. We will practice additive and subtractive methods to express observed tones within your work while exploring the “eraser” as an art medium.
We will identify and recognize the range of values in the environment and exercise critical thinking skills while observing, comparing and contrasting light and shadow and range of values.
Why: Color or lack of it alone, possesses emotion without the need to tell a story. Drawing in a limited pallet helps me put things into a new perspective or literally puts specific aspects of life into focus. Color can be very life-like but also very distracting. I also do this for dramatic purposes, to capture a mood in a moment. It also allows me to concentrate on the forms, values and shadows instead of concentrating on accuracy of facial colors.
