A couple of weeks ago I wrapped up Nathan Fowke’s Online Charcoal Portrait Drawing Class, taughtย (of course) by Nathan Fowkes (Fowkes, as in cow, as in moo)ย and offered through the good folks at Laafa. ย You can learn more about Nathan elsewhere, but let me take a moment to say that Nathan is the best art teacher I’ve come across. ย His teaching style is unlike anything I’ve experienced and his lectures are the best anywhere. ย Most art instructors just “wing it” class to class. ย Not Nathan. ย He’s always prepared with slides to accompany his lectures, and provides thoroughly researched examples of whatever he’s looking to communicate. ย He convinces you, proves it to you, and then demonstrates it before your eyes. ย It’s not possible to discount his approach. ย What’s his approach? ย I’m not telling you. ย Take his classes and find out. ย Or rather, don’t. ย I don’t want the competition! I’m very happy to present these as my student work.
