The Act of Drawing · 21-Day Challenge
One Drawing a Day with Cézanne
Twenty-one days, twenty-one Cézannes. In short lessons I draw beside you, against gravity and against writing, letting the eye lead and the hand follow, so you learn to place every line the way the great masters did.
An invitation
Watch the first day to see how the method works, then draw along. Paper and a pencil or pen are all you need. No eraser.
