My student had her first class with me last week and I taught her how to draw accurately with structure.
Step by step we completed an exercise of a cat together, and I couldn't be happier with her progress ! She kept saying " I drew a cat ! I drew a puddy cat ! " it was too cute.
It's so refreshing seeing my students grow each week, there's no words for how happy I am.

Demonstration to my students how RETARDER is essential to painting with acrylics. (retarder slows down the drying progress, as acrylics dry fast )

   3 essential steps to good drawing:

1. Gestural drawing + basic shapes

The less specific the drawing, the better the drawing
