Teaming up with Sara Gallagher!
I am thrilled to partner with Sara next spring to offer a Self-Portrait Workshop in my studio!
Sara & I share an artistic foundation rooted in traditional graphite work, yet both dare to expand our palettes with innovative techniques.
Join us in the studio to learn foundational graphite methods, as well as how to achieve unique darkest darks, brightest brights, & subtle applications of color in an otherwise black & white medium.
This mixed-media drawing workshop welcomes both serious beginning students & seasoned professional artists!
Workshop Dates: May 1-4th, 2024
This course offers:
Basic & advanced realism graphite instruction
An overview of each artist's favorite tools, papers, & mediums
An introduction to Sara's mixed-media graphite & PanPastel technique for creating detailed works with subtle tones of color
An introduction to Chelsie's mixed-media graphite technique for creating soft graphite ranges and warm, rich blacks
A mini personal photo shoot with digital images
Digital editing tips for creating strong reference photos
Group critiques & one-on-one consultation with each artist
Quality time with other creative souls

WORKSHOP TESTIMONIALS
“Within the first 15 minutes, I totally felt the course was worth the money! Chelsie is an engaging instructor with knowledge I had never learned before. I have been studying art for many years and this was one of the best experiences of my 40 plus years of learning.”

“I recently attended Chelsie’s drawing workshop in Santa Fe. Her teaching style is unique, fast-paced and informative. She emphasizes value and tone which is beneficial to all medium choices and does so in an easy-to-follow format. I learned so much and had a wonderful time doing so! Thank you, Chelsie.”

“…I had some beginner drawing experience but wanted more in-depth instruction and was looking for an instructor who would meet me where I was and show me the tips and skills to go beyond beginner work. My wish came true with Chelsie. Her attentiveness was helpful and encouraging. She knew how to explain this process of capturing the image in a way that was easy to understand and execute on my paper. If you are looking for a great teacher who wants you to succeed and grow in your drawing skills, then sign up for a session at her studio. ”
