Jamie Morris

Sessional Instructor, Visual Communications

“Draw from life. Learn the rules of perspective and classical lighting. The combination of practice and theory will take your drawing skills to the next level. These same drawing skills will be essential for representational painting. If you can’t draw it, you’re not going to be able to paint it.”
