Memorial Day Sale! 40% off any class with code MD26 at lindsayweirich.teachable.com through 5/26/26!
You won't get better if you don't practise, and today's tip will help you improve your speed and accuracy in whatever medium you choose.
Today we will try to get the information for a painting on the paper as quickly and with as few strokes as possible. Think of it like playing a game of pictonary, you want to get the info across. Then take your time with a final painting and see how your speed, accuracy, and form improve. It's a great way to use up some sketchbooks as well. Have fun!
