In this book, you will look at some of the ways that American artists have used line and color. You’ll learn practical ways to use line and color that make your pictures look better than you imagined they could. Drawing is a skill that we enjoy, we practice, and we get better at. Join me as we draw in new ways while discovering art in America. -Brenda Ellis America is a land filled with diverse people groups originating from many parts of the world.
