The Arthouse Oasis News
Can you believe that this student has never drawn a hand before?! If you give yourself time and patience, anything is possible. I’m soo proud of her, what do you think of our hands?
This pencil shading session focused on observational drawing, tonal values and capturing form through light and shadow.
We worked carefully from reference to study hands, learning how to build depth, texture and realism.
A calm, focused session that shows just how powerful simple materials can be when used with confidence and patience.
