Drawing is the basis for all good painting, and Burton Silverman is the perfect artist to guide us, having taught drawing for more than 45 years as part of his painting classes. Silverman explains looking in graphic terms at the shapes and values that are used to compose a picture. Working from the outside in, he does a gesture outline from which he then finds the subtleties of shading and high lights. He calls drawing a kind of sculpting, cutting out the shapes and then detailing them. Silverman does two complete drawings on this DVD. Both are completed Silverman masterpieces. With the running commentary he gives, this DVD is an extraordinary learning experience.
