I will be repeating the workshop given for CWS on simpler ways to do one point, two point, three point and circular perspective. It will be a small class and I'll hold it at my home in Arvada to keep it simple. This is not a CWS event.

Attendees will receive a 24 page summary of what is taught in the class. Besides a new way to look at the basics, separate segments will include breaking down shapes like circles and wagon wheels into manageable parts, subdividing to draw stairs and other multiple images, and how to put a complex shape like a fishing boat "into a box" to make all of the curves. It just might be easier than you thought. Workshop fee $40.

September 27, 2024 from 9 to 4 with a one hour lunch break.

P. S.  Please feel free to share this announcement with anyone you feel might be interested.

I want to thank Sandy Day Selbert and her workshop team for putting on an excellent workshop, with Stephen Quiller. It was very well done and I enjoyed every minute, as well as finally meeting some of you. Of course, thanks to Mr. Quiller for a most enlightening 3 days and for giving us the opportunity to watch magic happen at the hand of an absolute master. Truly a great experience. —Doug Moench
