Goals for this course
- Exercises to grow drawing skills AND become more creative. These skills can potentially transform your paintings.
- Topics covered: dynamic lines, shading, negative space, accuracy, perspective, lost edges, and many more.
- Learn the freedom of a splash of colour with line and wash techniques. (Note: Line and Wash was previously a separate course. It is a bonus course included here.)
“My take away; more confidence in myself as an artist.”
― Teresa G.
Who is this for?
- Brand new beginners and intermediate artists should both feel at home in this course.
- NO TALENT AND NO PREVIOUS LESSONS (in drawing or painting) REQUIRED.
- Ideally you would have about 30 minutes, 5 days per week, to benefit the most from this course. Some days may need less time, some will need more.
- Note: head and shoulders portraits are NOT covered in this course. Portraits is a full course on its own – another time.
“I found the videos invaluable…you could pause to paint or rewind if you needed to see a part again.”
― Mary T.
