Every day at school,  I teach students the art of drawing.  Now that

school has started this fall, I'm back in my classroom teaching students to see and draw

Yes, it can be pains taking.  It can take a long while to accomplish what the eye sees.

It takes time and perseverance to achieve the sense of 3 dimensions rising from a 2 dimensional surface. 

But, the results are so pleasing.  Even black, white, and gray comes alive! 

While I do love color - I also love the simple beauty of graphite drawing!
