Fun and Informative June Demo!

We would like to extend a special thank you to Freddie Harmon for providing us with a very informative and fun demo on creating preliminary value studies for future artwork!  Not only was it a great way to hone one's eye when judging values but helps to train your eye when attempting full color work.

At some future point, we would love to have Freddie come back and take us from our black and white study into our color value study....

Thanks again Freddie - it was a lot of fun!
