Stockholm, Sweden - 2016

Still globetrotting via Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, London and Stockholm!  There have been lot's of masterclasses focusing on The Youssef Drawing Syllabus: Movement & Form and artistic training taking place. It's been a while since we have shared what has been happening at Studio Technique, but here is a little post of a recent trip!

I have recently returned to Stockholm at King studios.  Had a great time teaching a masterclass there! I also was able to experience their famous forrest!

I also had the opportunity to teach workshops at the local schools and colleges. The students are so passionate and have such a great approach to learning. Here are some pictures of the amazing students at Xenter:

A great treat was joining Johan and Veronica, artists and animators from Cinematic Studios in Stockholm, at the ballet! The theatre was amazing! Stockholm is always a wonderful place to visit!
