Through a series of exercises, Sandy's Drawing Classes improve "seeing" as well as "hand - eye -coordination" for beginners and advanced artists alike. Sandy believes that anyone can draw once they learn how. "People generally don't automatically know "how to do it" and therefore often believe that they can't." Sandy treats sketching like learning any other skill. "You wouldn't be expected to dive into the deep end of the pool or jump on a spirited horse without first getting some basic instruction under your belt." So it is with drawing, which Sandy feels is the backbone to any type of art. If your drawing skills are strong, it will show through and your art will really shine.

seeing values and for using pencil and wash as seen here in the photos in the second row.

"Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end.
It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing.
It's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it."
