DISCLAIMER: While this course was recorded at webcam resolution during a live presentation from Marshall’s home studio, the core concepts and knowledge shared have immense value.

These Heinrich Kley Lessons from the 2022-2023 courses give you the best drawing instruction I have to offer with one of the best artists I’ve showcased in forty years of teaching. I think you'll like them. I’m sure you'll learn from them. (They are mainly from live online presentations, with expanded materials added)

If you aren't familiar with Heinrich Kley's work, check out this FREE video of Stan Prokopenko and I looking through one of his original sketchbooks!
