Caricature Demo by Scott Hall

Scott Hall, a well-known caricature artist, gave a demo for us on Nov. 21. What fun! He drew and talked all evening, telling stories about how he got started doing caricatures, how he keeps up his skills, and the tools he uses. He's an entertaining speaker and a wonderful artist.

He graciously drew each person in attendance and sent us home with the drawing as a souvenir.
