We are very excited to be able to bring Scott Robertson Workshops SRW, to the design students and professionals in Asia. Scott has a long history of organizing and teaching the highest quality drawing + rendering + design workshops in Europe and the United States and we plan to make his Asian workshops even better.
Im looking forward to sharing my decades of knowledge of drawing, rendering and design in person with you at these new Asian SRW events! Teaming up with Akitipe Studios and John Ou as my co-producers will ensure that the SRW events I help plan for and teach in Asia are the most inspiring and educational experiences possible. Hope to meet you there!
