Traditional Drawing and Painting Skills - Solid Foundation

Good drawing skills can and should be learned by anyone who wishes to communicate in a visual medium. I take a very traditional approach to dra... Read more

Having taught creative writing for years, as well as worked successfully with students on their application essays for college and g... Read more
