In my workshop, I will teach students how to achieve accuracy and beauty in the human figure.

We will also learn how to add drama to our painting and drawing by working with elements of light and dart, both in the figure and in the background.

This workshop will not only inspire the students, but will also greatly influence other subject matter, so that the students can approach their art with greater confidence.

I look forward to meeting everyone.

See you there!!
