Creating dynamic art compositions is not always an easy or intuitive task. In this class, artist and popular Richeson instructor Will Dickinson offers valuable insights into dynamic composition techniques that will arm students with the tools they need to compose successful artworks.

Using pen and ink drawing techniques, students will learn:

  • How to identify focal points and create visual flow
  • How quick studies can provide the foundation of larger pieces
  • How to scale sketches for a successful larger artwork
  • Time saving techniques that will aid in the journey from inspiration to finished product.

Will Dickinson was educated at the University of Pennsylvania College of Arts and Sciences and the Glasgow School of Art majoring in Fine Arts and Anthropology. Subsequently, he studied figurative drawing in Philadelphia. His art was featured at various group shows and solo exhibitions in New York City, Washington D.C., and Florence, Assisi (Italy).
