A Timeless Practice
Drawing has long been a language of thought, and a means to explore and interpret the world. From the first marks on cave walls to the intricate graphite studies informing Renaissance masters, sketching has been central to how artists understand form, light, contour, and movement. For centuries, drawing from both life and sculpture has been a foundational practice in the education of artists.
