Event Overview

Darkness and Light: A tonal life drawing workshop.

This series is welcome to creatives of all ages and skill levels.  This month we are exploring how light and dark values are used to render a realistic object or to create an abstract composition.  Tone affects everything around us and can be used to create powerful images. Together we will be going over everything from basic shading to using lighting as a tool for storytelling. Space is limited, so register in advance to secure your spot.

All drawing supplies provided and feel free to bring your own!

About the artist:

Liz Gomez is a multidisciplinary afro-latinx currently based in Chicago, IL. Gomez is a creative chameleon, whose practice includes large-scale portraiture, murals, mixed media installations, and performance, all of which are centered around using the arts as a vessel for healing and authentic story-telling. She believes in giving voice and visibility, to individuals who defy definition and uses her work to celebrate freedom, fearlessness and the endless depths of the spirit. Originally from San Antonio Tx, Gomez traveled to Chicago to pursue a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and now holds an artist residency in Bronzeville, with the Hunter International Gallery.
