Additional information
Join artist Jean Sbarra Jones for a hands-on drawing workshop in which you’ll explore using charcoal to depict dramatic contrasts in light. Participants will work directly from life and begin by drawing a soft gray tone on white paper and then use erasers and various types of charcoal to experiment with the variety, flexibility, and richness of the medium. This workshop is organized in conjunction with the current exhibition Sketch, Shade, Smudge: Drawing from Gray to Black (September 12, 2025–January 18, 2026).
