You will be asked to do several mini projects each covering a different technique by doing a mini demo. Rich will provide examples and encourage each student to try it for themselves.

After highschool I attended S.A.I.T., taking first year Architectural Technology where I learned perspective drawing. Later I attended the Alberta College of Art where he took lessons in Figure Drawing. Understanding the need to improve my technique with all mediums I began taking many workshops from established artists to improve his style and master principles of design. Supply list.
