We will try something new in this project and change our brushwork from ordinary to vertical. The value of doing the familiar subject in an unfamiliar way is creative expansion, your awareness of how many tools are in your hands - and that your tools go beyond your brushes, it also includes technique - which will help you grow as an artist.

Want to learn how to draw? Not sure where to start? This Drawing Course is a great way to begin. By the end of the twelve weeks, you'll be able to draw anything you want. You will learn the most important aspects of drawing from the very beginning. You will build the foundation by rendering basic objects and environments, and become prepared to apply these techniques to more complex subjects. All the techniques of the Essential Drawing Course are done in monochrome (black and white) so there is no distraction from the basics such as light and shadow, line, form, tone, and texture.
