About the Seminar: Many artists have difficulty with composition. This intensive and engaging seminar addresses issues faced when composing pictures by combining lively lectures, presentations, and demonstrations with drawing exercises that breakdown the three essential stages of picture composition. Instructor Will Weston notes that: "Composition prioritizes everything in painting from the most important to the least important elements. In art, composition is content, and the essential element separating the beginner from more advanced or professional artists."

He has worked in feature animation for Disney Feature and Television Animation, Nickelodeon, Warner Bros., and Sony Pictures.
