Really enjoyed watching and learning how to create this technique. So much to experiment with. Drawing using a plumb line and seeing shadows and shapes will be so helpful in other mediums. Can’t wait to play, signed up to all her workshops. Thank you Claudia, Thank you Etchr such a good learning platform.
