22:00 (10:00 pm) - Demonstration: How to Draw A Portrait w/“Texas Tom” Webber

While I am mainly planning on doing a demo rather than a draw along, feel free to have on hand a stick of charcoal, conte crayon or dark pastel (like black o dark brown), a fairly large textured drawing paper with an eraser (a kneaded araser is best). If you have these, you can certainly draw along. I’m hoping that even non artists will find this demonstration interesting. And feel free to ask me questions about my drawing process as I go along.

NOTE: If the Midnight slot is still open, I am happy to come back for another hour and do another portrait drawing demo.
