Art Class: Chiaroscuro Mastery Drawing Workshop

  • Nockie's Palette Cellar Door, Queenstown 756 Lake Hayes-Arrow Junction Highway RD 1, Frankton, Queenstown Queenstown, Otago New Zealand (map)

Exploring the Chiaroscuro technique using various materials as subject matter, this workshop will enhance participants' understanding of light, shadow, and texture in their drawings.

What is Chiaroscuro?
Chiaroscuro, in art, is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. It is also a technical term used by artists and art historians to use contrasts of light to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures.
