My college professor also instructed us to "draw what we see, not what we know"... this basically hits on everything I tell someone when they say they can't draw - it is all about practice.Cherylhttp://www.pollenpathdesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889958216153459819.post-52620353714260423762010-08-24T22:56:29.467-04:002010-08-24T22:56:29.467-04:00Thank you for this.

The latter, in my case! It has only been well into my parenting that I've been introduced to the idea that drawing can be taught. Taught! The idea. I'll be referring back to this, early and often. xo, Mollymollyhttp://www.remedialeating.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889958216153459819.post-35116805874530407872010-08-22T22:15:14.686-04:002010-08-22T22:15:14.686-04:00Great trick!

One of my favorite lessons in college was an entire still life class where we drew ONLY with sharpie markers...that way...there's lots of sketching, and no room for erasing. It really taught me a lot. Not that it would be great for little ones to be off with sharpies, but for serious adult business, it was fun!<br /><br />:)LisaHullabaloo Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922072857698305087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889958216153459819.post-56550357480717550052010-08-10T10:12:27.573-04:002010-08-10T10:12:27.573-04:00Love this Amy.
