Why isn't my art lesson like this?? I swear schools are missing the point of the art class.

Only one thing that I would criticise is the video cutting off before I could take a better look at the second tree but other than that this was a great, quick and informative video!

Point very well put across, when you do it , its a tree, when i do it , its a blob. Thankyou for showing this video, now my trees look like trees. Keep up the gr8 work, you are a fantastic teacher, but most of all you are a truly gifted artist!

Good day sir, I still fail to achieve the effect as on the video. I have brush made ​​of badger. According to the instructions I am applying color, but the brush is too frayed and the effect is much worse. Can you advise me how to proceed? I have a bad brush, or it may be a wet / dry brush, the lack of color ... I ordered Stippler two weeks ago from web pages artistshop, but had not arrived yet. thank you

 That is/was exactly what my art class consisted of! And same, my last art teacher was okay.

I know right?! My art class is basically my teacher saying "Okay! Draw this and then that!, after you're done I will grade you!"

He don't really teach at all, he just tell us what to draw.

Art class is about learning how to draw/do art, and frankly I haven't learned much at all from him.

It was much better with our last teacher, she was awesome! she said "draw a face" and then she walked around explaining & giving tips on how to do it. And showing us how to.

My current teacher is just lazy.

It looks so easy when he does it o.O

Thanks Terry,

As a beginner, it was very helpful. I'm off tomorrow to buy one of those brushes.

Thanks.
