Why is it important?​

​

• All drawing involves proportion. Proportion is important whether an artwork's style is realistic or abstract.

• Realistic drawing is especially effective in training the eye to see the thing-as-it-is in its relational proportions.

• The real benefit to the student during the portrait painting process is the creative act itself, which engages different parts of the brain and body.

• Our classes are a detailed study in light and shadows.
