Why I teach drawing before I teach painting

Drawing is seeing. Before you can paint what you see, you have to learn to really look. Most beginners rush to colour before they've learned to observe. I spend the first four sessions of every course on observational drawing. It transforms everything that comes after.

I've learned more from posts like this than from any course I've paid for.

Totally. And make sure your profile photo is professional — it matters more than people think.

Totally agree. I'd add that setting clear expectations upfront saves so much time later.
