This training will improve your ability to observe culture, colour, people, unique landscape and architecture. Learn how to simplify images in order to capture special moments quickly. Simple materials, personal reference material, working with live models, plus outdoor experiences will assist in creating stronger images. As an added bonus you will become experiences in packing and protecting your materials and finished artworks for travel.
