Drawing on toned paper is a fun way to step outside the box and try something different. You can stretch your drawing skills by drawing on grey paper because it will help you to discover the opportunities and ideas that wouldn't be possible if you draw only on white paper. If we want to draw white objects or white animals, they don't look noticeable on white paper unless we color the background too, which is quite difficult and boring, will take your time, energy and might make you less motivated to draw.
In this class, you will learn to draw from both reference photos and imagination so that you can learn to see things through the artist's eyes, enrich your creative mind and get inspired. It will help you to see and understand the art from a different point of view and to enjoy the endless opportunities that working on toned paper offers.
Reasons to Draw On Toned Paper:

<li>
You have only to add black and white shades and the paper does the rest of the job.

Your work will seem more complete and won't look pale because the lighter hues appear quite darker on the grey surface and they won't “disappear” like on white paper.
</li>
