The Fundamentals of Drawing with @melanieb_art ✨

Build a strong foundation in drawing through observation, technique, and expression. This structured course covers line weight, gesture, light value, perspective, proportion, composition, and edge hierarchy—essential skills that bring your work to life.

Taught by NYAA Painting Professor Melanie Berardicelli, this class blends classical principles with hands-on exercises in monochromatic graphite to help you refine your eye and technique.

Perfect for artists looking to deepen their technical skills and create more dynamic, realistic drawings.
