What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with a variety of students in the past 14 years. Although everyone learned new skills, the ones that excelled were highly motivated to improve their observational and drawing skills and they applied themselves to whatever projects they were working on, whether from observation or reference photos.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Be ready to expand your knowledge and skills and be committed to applying what you learn and practice your new drawing skills when you are not in the Studio.
