My thoughts are that the demo, hosted by ArtToolKit, revealed to me why I am so drawn to your work. The mindfulness of your approach yields simply complex drawings that are so descriptive of people in place. I love drawing on location but I always avoid trying to draw the people. People seem too hard to capture, but I am going to try some of your strategies this morning as I meet a friend to sketch and see how it goes. I have signed up for your workshop on September 17 - I want to learn more. Thank you for yesterday's demo.

This is so great to hear, Cindy! I hope you enjoy drawing, and I look forward to helping you get over obstacles next week!

Hey Nishant. Looking forward to your art videos. I used to sketch as a kid and dropped the habit when I started writing more, and now you are inspiring me to try it again and wondering if I can actually blend the two somehow. Also, my niece is just an talented artist and I have asked her if she would be interested in your zoom session.

Wow! I’m a native New Yorker and moved to Chicago 7 years ago -- my brother has a restaurant on N Wells! If you ever visit, let me know and you’ll be our guest!

So many gems in that demo. Thank you. It made me excited to go out and draw from life again! (And reminded me it’s a good idea to limit my materials a bit more. 😄)
