SUMMARY:Birds of Prey Charcoal Realism Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Discover the versatility of charcoal and learn how to develop a realistic animal study in this practical\, step-by-step workshop exploring the beautiful Peregrine Falcon. \nWorking from photographic reference\, Becky will guide you through the fundamental techniques of drawing with charcoal\, demonstrating how to build tone\, develop form\, create feather textures and capture the drama of these magnificent birds. You’ll explore a combination of traditional willow charcoal\, charcoal powder and brushwork\, learning how to refine these towards fine details and highlights. Becky will demonstrate each technique as you progress\, making the session accessible and enjoyable while introducing methods used in her own animal portrait work. \nParticipants can choose to work from a selection of four different Peregrine Falcon reference photographs and develop their own composition\, or use a pre-printed outline as a starting point if they prefer a little guidance and a quicker start. \nPlease Note: This is a short\, technique-focused workshop rather than a session to complete a fully refined\, photorealistic portrait. The promotional image is an example of Becky’s finished work and took over 20 hours to complete! In 2.5 hours\, you’ll develop the starting points of a realistic charcoal study and learn techniques that you can continue exploring and refining to complete at home. The emphasis is on enjoying the process\, experimenting with materials and building skills\, rather than producing a finished portrait. \nWhat you’ll take away: Your own\, partially completed A4 charcoal study\, together with an understanding of the materials and techniques needed to develop it into a more detailed portrait. \nLevel: Suitable for beginners and those with some previous drawing experience who wish to explore charcoal techniques in a fun and accessible way. \nMaterials: All materials and equipment needed for the workshop will be provided. Participants are also welcome to bring their own charcoal materials if they prefer. \nAbout the tutor:  \nBecky Gouverneur is a professional animal artist and art tutor based in Buckinghamshire\, specialising in highly realistic charcoal and pencil animal portraits. Her work is known for its dramatic tonal contrasts\, fine detail and ability to capture the individual character and personality of her subjects. \nShe has exhibited nationally\, been shortlisted for Wildlife Artist of the Year 2024 and exhibited with the Pastel Society at the Mall Galleries in 2025. She is a member of the Oxford Art Society and Buckinghamshire Art Society\, an SAA tutor and contributor\, writes regularly for Artists & Illustrators magazine and is the author of the forthcoming Search Press book ‘Drawing Animals in Charcoal‘. \nTickets £60 (12 Places) \nTickets go on sale to the general public at 10am on 15th March and 1 week earlier for benefactors of the festival who benefit from priority booking \nMaterials \nBasic materials and equipment will be supplied as part of the workshop ticket price\, so you don’t need to bring anything unless you prefer to use your own. \nIf you would like to bring your own materials\, the following is a selection of what will be used: \n\nWillow charcoal\nCharcoal powder\nSandpaper\nA selection of soft brushes in various sizes\, suitable for applying charcoal powder (make-up brushes are excellent for this!)\nBlending stumps\nPierre Noire 2B or equivalent compressed charcoal pencil\nTombow Mono Zero eraser or equivalent precision eraser\nPutty eraser\n\nA drawing board or firm backing surface is also useful. \nPlease wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty\, as charcoal can be messy! \nWant to take your materials home? \nBecky’s Charcoal Packs will also be available to purchase on the day for £35. These comprehensive packs contain a selection of the materials Becky uses in her own professional work\, book and workshops\, including willow and compressed charcoal\, charcoal pencils\, erasers and blending tools.
