At AWE Studio, I just finished teaching a charcoal portraiture class. The photos above capture the weekly progress of drawing a portrait by concentrating on the forms and values of shadows, instead of focusing on the features.  The result is a very realistic likeness of my student's subject.  She was thrilled, and rightly so, becuase she had never drawn a portrait before and only started taking classes with me recently.

That is why I named my art studio AWE (Art With Everyone) because I truly believe that my unique method of teaching makes art accessible to everyone.

Look for new classes starting in May.
