There is an abundance of material here. My current interest is to return to the basics of drawing and build on those basics. What course or set of classes would, probably, benefit me most? I haven’t drawn or painted for several years so the basic basics seem appropriate to me.

Thanks much for your input.

Hello Michael,

First welcome to the Virtual Instructor.

I am assuming that you are a member and if so I would start with 25 days to better drawing. and then the secrets of drawing.

These are graphite courses and that is pretty basic. I also recommend that you start watching some of the past critiques. This is one thing I look forward to every week. The importance of all the basic is repeated every week. It is a fun and educations half hour to see the artwork of people at different levels.

We are glad to have you as a part of the Virtual Instructor Forum and membership.

I hope to see some of your artwork as you start up creating again.

Teri
