“Demonstrating the Craft,” at the 2014 San Diego Comic Con
This past week marked the annual arrival of the San Diego Comic Con, the largest comic and pop culture convention in the world. As always, the Watts Atelier Team was there, conducting panels and participating in signings on the showroom floor.

During this hour and a half demonstration, Jeffrey Watts and E.M. Gist worked from a live model, with Jeff painting and Erik drawing, in order to give the attendees a first hand look at our methods.
A special thanks goes out to our model for the panel, Brittany Weistling, daughter of Morgan Weistling and a fantastic artist in her own right. For those of you who made it to the panel, we hope you enjoyed the demonstration..for those who couldn’t make it, we hope to see you there next year!
