Register for the Lifetime Drawing Lab

Early in the morning I sat down, drew, and recorded another lesson for my course. As I'm drawing, I realize drawing is difficult but luckily I know a technique to draw anything.

That's what I want to share.

When people start drawing they'll do the following:

  • Try to copy something exactly like they see it

  • Dive right into drawing something without understanding what the shape of the object is

In my Lifetime Drawing Lab, I'm going to show you the objects you need to learn to draw in order to draw anything!

On top of that, I'll teach you that these objects are basic shapes anyone can draw!

I will teach an amazing technique where you will learn 5 basic objects to help you draw anything. This technique will:

  • Show how these 5 objects make up the human body and items in your house

  • Draw anything in perspective much easier

These 5 shapes will give you much more confidence to draw anything.

If you want to learn this technique and be able to draw anything, then come join me in the drawing lab.

Getting vibrant, rich colors in your watercolor paintings is a must! What I love about these are that they are nontoxic and have a special formula to make them easily come off your clothes in case you get paint on them! If you drop your paints like me, then that is a huge relief!

I love how these cotton canvases help to keep a natural tone and makes it effortless to help you glide your brushstrokes across the surface. The way they are stretched also helps keep the frames firm. These canvases are pre-coated with acid-free gesso to ensure they don’t crumble or crack.

It can be such a hassle when you get colored pencils and they break! That’s why I like these. The inside color core is pretty think, so you’ll be able to use them for a long time.

Looking for something cute and colorful? Well, a pencil set doesn’t have to be the same boring colors anymore.

Cheaper version of Copic Markers. Seemless blending, refillable ink, and 120 vibrant colors.

Cheaper version of Prismacolor Colored Pencils. 72 rich colors that won’t break.

Cheaper canvas alternative.

Have a great day,
Jae
