Learn To Draw in 30 Days

 

 

Welcome!

In this video series, artist Paul Richmond breaks down the fundamentals of drawing into 10-minute daily exercises that will help you see like an artist, learn the basics of drawing, and put it into practice. 

You will be amazed at how much your drawing skills will improve in a short time with focused, daily practice. Paul's gentle, lighthearted approach will make learning fun and keep you coming back for more. Enrollment gives you unlimited access to the video lessons, so you can always watch them again later too. All of the videos in this series are linked below. We recommend going through the class in order from start to finish as some of the concepts build on previous lessons.

Paul has been teaching students to draw for over twenty years. This class covers the most effective techniques he has discovered for helping artists hone this fundamental skill. This class is great for beginners and also a refresher for anyone who wants to get back to the basics of drawing.

If you have any questions, send us an email at info@artmakesus.com. Happy drawing!
