HOT TALKS: Eagranie Yuh
November 26, 2013
 

You may be the most talented creative in the world, but if you can’t communicate what you do, why it matters and why you’re awesome, you’re hooped. But what’s the difference between a clear and concise message, and one that’s flabby and vague? How do you grab someone’s attention and keep it? And how do you do it without sounding like a smarmy greaseball? In this talk, you’ll learn simple ways to whip your writing into shape and tell compelling stories – without selling your soul.

Mandy Tsung is an artist with a unique approach to representing the human face. Now you can learn the secrets of how she captures emotion and life in her portraits with simple materials. In the demo portion for the first half of Saturday’s class, watch Mandy as she creates a portrait from start to finish while talking about her practice. In the workshop for the second half of the class on Saturday and the entire class on Sunday, you will have the opportunity to create a drawing of your own with one-on-one instruction. Specific materials and media will be covered, along with the basic technical concepts necessary for creating a finished drawing. If you’ve ever wondered how to improve on your own drawings (portrait or otherwise), then this workshop is for you. All skill levels welcome.
