merci beaucoup for this talk! great introduction to impressionist drawings. highly recommend to anyone interested in drawings in general.

Drawing is the foundation of all Art. Good to see attention being given to drawing of the masters.

I used to look at the practice of drawing as painting's poor cousin. I drew roughly just to be able to proceed with the application of my oils. It was only a means to an end. But I have come to appreciate and value drawing for its own sake. It is an elegant art that can bear profound results ! The work I've done with graphite and charcoal during these past months of 'sheltering in place’ have yielded pieces that stand up more than favorably to my oil paintings.
