Hi from another Canadian
HI everyone. I have taken one weekend workshop with Mike and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am so happy to be invited to help vet this site, I consider it a privilege to have such skillful instruction at hand.
Looking forward to slowly but surely refreshing my drawing with these videos.
