Drawing I For Painters – Johnnie Liliedahl
Video Length: 2 Hours
#3 in the Illuminations Series!
Drawing is that essential ingredient that makes a piece of work worthy of the title “art”. Drawing is not only the ability to render something in charcoal, pencil, ink, or paint; it is the ability to see what you are attempting to capture. Then, once you can actually see what is before you, drawing also encompasses the ability to compose what you see. Being able to render the appearance of an object is an important skill, but it is a mistake to think that rendering is all that drawing is about.
Do you want to be a better painter and create your own original compositions, but find yourself at a loss to compose them beautifully? What you are searching for won’t be found in most painting classes. The emphasis is more often on color and paint methods and techniques than on composition basics, and rightly so. What you really want to know is founded on sound drawing principles such as those included in this intensive video class.
