“Let whoever may have attained to so much as to have the power of drawing know that he holds a great treasure” Michelangelo
Fine art is rooted in drawing. It is one of the major forms within the visual arts. Other art styles like painting emanate from it. Drawing encompasses a number of mediums including; charcoal & graphite, pen and ink, chalk, pastels, inked brushes, and much more.
