Contour lines are often where beginners start with drawing, but how can you bring greater depth, volume, and light to your work by varying them? Explore insights from Delacroix and Rembrandt to learn how contours shape images. Through guided exercises, move beyond rigid, wire-like outlines to discover how broken and varied lines can let the paper itself participate and add dimension. For those new to drawing and seasoned artists alike, this session transforms how you approach one of the foundations of drawing, unlocking new possibilities with every line.
