In coordination with the Oklahoma Art Guild, which commissioned this demonstration, and the Oklahoma Academy of Classical Art, this drawing tutorial will air as a YouTube Premier on June 2, 2020. Viewers are encouraged to “chat“ questions during the live broadcast.

Focusing on self-portraiture, the technical demonstration concludes with a discussion of tonality and hatch mark.
