Online Lessons
If you prefer instant
access to information, or if you are only interested
in specific topics, the following chapters of my instruction
book "Portrait Sculpture Simplified", are
available as individual lessons #1-6. Additional lessons
that are not included in the book are coming soon. All
lessons include color photographs that can be zoomed
into for increased magnification - almost like "being
there". These lessons are only viewable on line.
Although the documents cannot be saved, the pages can
be printed and you may bookmark the online location to
the lesson once you are granted access, so that you may
return any time.
