In this lesson, NMA master draftsman Glenn Vilppu will demonstrate how to use natural stone (sanguine). You will learn the unique qualities that this material holds. Glenn will show you how to handle it and lecture on why it is special to him. You will do a series of drawings with the material yourself and see what power you can unlock.
