Draw Anything from Imagination Online Workshop
This workshop is now over. You will have access to the video recordings and reference photos, but you cannot submit your work for critique from the instructor.
Drawing from imagination or memory is a critical part of the creative process of the artist going back thousands of years. The Old Masters would develop their compositions first from imagination and only later, if ever, would they bring in models to help them work out their ideas. Today drawing from imagination is not only applicable to fine art but also to concept, visual development, animation, illustration, comics and more. Unfortunately this is a skill that is diminishing today, and many artists are under the mistaken impression that drawing from imagination is only for the most advanced artists. In reality, the artist should be drawing from imagination as well as from reference throughout their entire career. An artist who isn’t able to work from imagination is limited in his or her ability to do a wide variety of creative tasks.
In this workshop, Glenn Vilppu will show you multiple approaches to working from the imagination. He will lecture, analyze master artists, and demonstrate his concepts. Glenn will also give students assignments and then critique them live during the workshop. Whether you plan on participating live or watching the workshop afterwards, you will learn new perspectives about drawing that can be applied to any subject matter.
After years of requests, this unique workshop will finally air live. You will leave this workshop with a new set of skills that will improve your current work as well as your entire art career.
Thank you So much Glenn Vilppu

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Glenn has an amazing understanding at drawing from the imagination and drawing in general. Great Workshop.
The workshop was invaluable and covered the subject matter very well.
From beginning to end it was obvious how experienced and masterfully skilled Glenn Vilppu is. Witnessing his teaching by demonstration, certainly I will continue to study the video archive for months to come and be engaged and inspired to draw anything from imagination.
Thank you to Glenn and to the Art Mentors Team for the workshop and for the early-bird price you offered the workshop. It also was a great idea to spit the recording in several parts. The images could be in a zip-file for easier download. My wish is to have a lesson (on New Master Aacademy) or a workshop about the “planes of the head”. As Gleen mentioned is this topic essential for the painting of portraits.
NMA is the best, what else is there to say?
