“Drawing is the Basis of Art.

A bad painter cannot draw. But one who draws well can always paint.”  —Arshile Gorky

 

Drawing is great way to train your eye to see and to hone your skills of shapes, edges, and perspective—especially when drawing from life. Drawing in black and white reduces having to think about color as a variable and makes the artist focus on value and edges. I enjoying incorporating drawing into my daily practice to help me improve as an artist and painter.
