Miano Live Online Workshops
Miano advocates a painterly way to draw. Mass drawing is an essential prerequisite for tonal painting. It is an atmospheric way to draw which depends more on tone than line. A focus on large masses of tone and edges conceptually working in layers eases an artist’s progress into painting.
