No matter what your style or skill level, I can give you a review of the fundamental and advanced skills necessary to take your art to the next level.
I primarily provide instruction in the mediums of charcoal drawing and clay sculpting. However, I am also available to give lectures, speeches and demonstrations on a multitude of topics in the art world.

Mastery of this skill takes many years of patient observation and relies heavily upon one's drawing skills. Human anatomy is discussed in great detail in order to gain an understanding of the figure. |
