About The Art of Drawing: Sketching & Shading

Before you pick up a charcoal stick, we spend time simply observing light and shadow. My classes focus on 'seeing' first—understanding how a sphere or a piece of fruit behaves under light—before we ever worry about making it look perfect on paper. This approach removes the intimidation factor for beginners and helps hobbyists develop a steady, observant eye.
