  • Drawing What You Know

    Sechs Kissen (Six Pillows), 1493 by Albrecht Dürer, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

    Dürer created this drawing as a study of shading by using cross-hatching, but it is also a study in drawing drapery.

  • Setting the Scene

    Dancers in the Wings by Edgar Degas, 1876-78, Pastel

    Degas is well known for his superior ability to draw and to fade into the background so that he could capture a scene without influencing what was happening.

  • Nympheas

    Water Lily by Georgia O’Keeffe, 1921, Georgia O’Keeffe Museum

    Georgia O’Keeffe Museum is located in Santa Fe, New Mexico and features not only her work, but that of many of her contemporaries.
