A29 Seeing Correctly = Great Drawings

Gain the confidence of knowing YOU can render images accurately and with dramatic realism. For many, the main obstacle to overcome in drawing accurately is seeing correctly instead of generalizing. Break the habit of looking only once. Begin to see things as shapes of dark and light, and the result becomes beautiful artwork.

Level A – All levels welcome.
