Barbara,  -  workshop participant

"I have never produced a drawing so well as the one I did after your instruction at the Bird Journaling Workshop. This truly made a difference in my understanding of how to draw to scale, how to use highlight and shadows, why a color or value seems to change in value when placed next to other values. Thank you for your patience and giving us time to apply our lessons immediately until we could capture each one for ourselves. I hope to take another workshop in the future."   -  Cyn G., workshop participant

“Neil Rizos demystified for me that most difficult part of creating an artwork — getting started.  By commencing the workshop with a practical demonstration using straightforward measuring techniques to establish an accurate base drawing of a bird, he clarified how much difficulty and reworking of the image can be avoided by getting proportions correct from the start, no matter the medium or subject.  His humor, easygoing manner, and positive nature made the workshop especially enjoyable.  Along with nuts and bolts advice regarding technique and materials, we benefited from little gems of insight into the creative process that Neil shared throughout the afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.”   -  E. Paquette, workshop participant
