This yearlong workshop guides you through 52 weekly lessons that not only improve your technical skills but refine your personal style, preferences, and expression. The first half of the year focuses on learning and polishing the building blockssuch as line, perspective, and shadingwhile the second empowers you to make choices and question methods. Each week includes an introductory quote from art history, what (and how) to practice for the specific lesson, and further if you have time suggestions to build on. Going beyond simple step by step, each lesson also includes works by artists in other mediums to look up, rooting the theme in its broader artistic context. By the final assessment lesson of week 52, youll be more skillful and knowledgeable about drawing, and about yourself as an artist.
