How to transfer a graphite drawing - and seal it on a panel

Sadie J. Valeri has produced some great short videos about the drawing preparations prior to painting.

The first is about how to transfer a graphite drawing to a panel for painting.  This is an example of instruction in drawing which is done so much better using video!

She also has:

• a second video about how to Seal the Drawing on the Panel with 50/50 Varnish/Mineral Spirits
• plus another about how to sharpen a pencil

Sadie J. Valeri is a still life artist and tutor who I really admire. You can:

• see her still life paintings on her website
• enjoy her informative blog posts
• check out her art classes which focus on Classical Realism Painting and Drawing 
• or, if you can't get to her San Francisco studio, you might want to take a look at her videos

I've been saying for a while that videos are the way forward for a lot of artists who want to teach and share their knowledge and skills to a wider audience online.  To my mind, Sadie provides an excellent example and role model for all artists who aspire to become art tutors.
