Portrait and Figure Drawing - From Sketch to Detail, Intro-adv: Wed, 6 - 9 pm
Linear drawing and sketching are the base on lines and an excellent drawing technique and way of gaining hand control over the line, honing fine motor skills.
Tonal drawing more often used by painters, because their perception of colour and tone often based on play of various masses of a tone different in saturation and configuration.
And of course also there is a complex approach to drawing with the use of both techniques.
Succession in drawing will result in certain benefits: eye training, ability to catch movement, proportions and composition at once, without prolonged and sometimes tiresome process.
