Getting a better painting often means getting a better drawing. Learning to Draw is all about learning to SEE. In this class, we'll do observational drawing to sharpen skills to draw in correct perspective, seeing and drawing the darks and lights (values), land earning "thumbnail measuring" to get accurate size ratios and measuring all in the interest of getting better paintings.
