Think Shading your Drawings is Only About Smudging and Blending?
...Think Again.
Did you know you can create depth and contrast using just lines?
Mastering line-based shading is the first step to unlocking
all forms of shading. It trains your eye to see value, structure, and contrast in a way that makes every future drawing stronger.

Hi, Alison here!
I’m a professional Artist and Educator with 25+ years of experience helping students of all skill levels gain confidence in their drawing and painting techniques.
But you know what? I was once like you. I loved art but felt stuck when it came to drawing. No matter how many classes I took, I just couldn’t break through to the next level. It felt like I was missing some secret ingredient that others seemed to grasp so easily.
That all changed when I discovered the real key to drawing: learning to SEE. Once I strengthened my observational skills by training my eyes to recognize lines, shapes, structure, and form, drawing became less of a struggle and more like solving an intriguing puzzle.
And now, that’s exactly what I teach my students. I always say: “I’m not just teaching you how to Draw, I’m teaching you how to SEE.”
My simple, practical approach in "THE VALUE OF LINE" breaks down how to shade with Line to achieve shape, value, and contrast, that will have you creating drawings you’re truly proud of.
Join me, and let’s unlock the power of Line together!

"This lesson is so educational. Thanks Alison, the right/left brain concept is very helpful for me, because that is exactly what happens when I am drawing." ~ Tamara
