Artist Teresa Raschilla did a self-portrait with pencil.
The Pacific Palisades Art Association will have a meeting at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 21 with artist Teresa Raschilla, who will discuss pencil drawing.
Raschillla wrote to Association President Annette Alexakis, “After years of drawing in pencil, I took my first art class that taught me how to use graphite the way professional artists do. I don’t want to say that I was doing it wrong that whole time, but I was definitely missing out on the subtlety and versatility of the medium.
“In that class, I learned how to draw using additive and reductive techniques in graphite and charcoal, and what the differences are between the two materials,” said Raschilla, who included a self-portrait she did, using the new reductive approach (above).
On Sunday, she will demonstrate that reductive process, and share what to look for when selecting pencils, paper and accessories.
