"BYOP" Workshop Synopsis: 

This is a unique opportunity to learn to apply my techniques to your subjects - with me helping you along the way.  You can bring drawings in any stage of completion. You can even bring work that you previously thought was finished and I'll help you re-work the piece during class to make it really pop off the page. I will be there to help guide you through your drawing at your pace. If you need more time with the basics, I'm there for you as well.

This class will also include personal emails from me so we can discuss the project(s) you would like to work on in class. I'll also give you help to get you going in the right direction so we don't spend class time "undoing" what you have started.  I'd like to recommend that you choose to work on a drawing with a fairly good reference photograph. But if you have your heart set on drawing that 2" x 2" picture of grandma, I'll help you through it, and we will concentrate on turning that bad photo into a great portrait. 

The majority of my time will be spent one-on-one with each student. I will have my live camera and TVs set-up there so I can briefly demonstrate techniques when general questions arise. But if what I'm showing doesn't apply to what you are working on at the moment, you have my permission to ignore me! 

The supplies are included for this class but if you need to bring any pencils etc. to ensure continuity of a drawing in progress, feel free to do so. 

I will have examples of my some of my work on display so you can see the degree depth and realism that is possible using my techniques. The goal is to get your work to have the same degree of realism and "pop".

Comments from Previous Workshop Students:

"Many people can paint or draw exceptionally well – but most of them are not equipped to teach. This was not the case with J. D. – presented a very well thought out program – very easy to understand."

"Great course, lots learned in short time – will improve my portrait drawing. I will sign up for additional classes"

"Having taken art classes in drawing, this is by far the best instruction I’ve ever had. This was a first class affair! From start to finish. It is sad for the people who missed it."

"J.D. is very thorough and has a very good way of explaining things in an informal - relaxed atmosphere."
