Students learned tips and techniques from art pro Renee Egan in her "Building a Better Portfolio" camp at Tyler Center for the Arts in Richboro last week.

Portfolio requirements vary depending on the type of art institution you set your sights on, but most require 12 to 20 pieces of work, nearly half of which should be drawn from direct observation. The student needs to show strong composition and a wide range of values in the artwork. Prospective art students often hear the advice: "Draw, draw, draw and then when you're tired, draw some more!"

They learned a variety of techniques from artist and instructor, Renee Egan, who teaches a variety of courses in the art department at Ewing High School in New Jersey and at various summer art camps, including at the Artists of …
