Give yourself or your loved one the gift of Learning to Draw!

Anyone can learn to draw with the tools I will teach you & practice. Learn to break down objects into their basic elements and shapes, see their edges, positive & negative space, & perspective. Blind contour drawing will enhance your understanding of how to draw what you are looking at, in a realistic manner quickly! Learn how to add convincing shading to objects based on light direction and contour, so your drawings won't look flat. Create drawings that you will be proud to share or give as gifts.
