Stephen Perkins Workshop- Day 1
The studio was full of excitement as we started a new week with Stephen Perkins. Many of us are still absorbing all of the information that was given to us last time Stephen was here. All of the students arrived early and ready to pick up right where we left off.

It was a great learning experience to see and analyze how artists of the past handled different mediums and applied each stroke to build the masterpieces that were before us.
Here are just a few of the drawings that we came across:
