- Get your ninja skills for composing visual images -

This is a short but condensed workshop for beginners, intermediate, and self-taught artists that want a stronger conceptual foundation of basic concepts and techniques to improve their drawing and painting skills -

All of these subjects could be studied and practiced indefinitely, but this course is designed to create a foundation for further practice.

It is a recommended pre-requisite for any other workshops, as it will help you get more out of each class by improving your knowledge of concepts and techniques.

We will apply what we learned in Bootcamp 1, and will likely work with a couple text books for this workshop:
