This workshop is designed to create a relaxed, informative, yet focused working environment for all skill levels.

The core of the lesson will be based on drawing, values, edges, composition and creating life-like skin tone color. Students will focus on the fundamentals of drawing the human head while developing new skills in soft pastel.

The workshop will feature a live model, and Cuong will demonstrate his own techniques to draw from life.
