If you think about it, all life drawing and painting is at some point being done from the artist's memory, even if that memory is only a few seconds old. Every time the artist takes their eyes off of the model or scene and looks at their paper or canvas, their visual memory is involved. What if that artist's visual memory was highly trained? That artist might need the model for a shorter period of time, or she might have a more productive time when the model is in pose. He might be better at painting all of the fleeting effects that nature throws at us when we are landscape painting en plein air.
Memory Drawing: Perceptual Training and Recall exists to guide you in doing just that. It will also help you improve your abilities to remember fleeting effects, seize essentials, and even enhance your imagination.
When you want to go beyond the book and make the most of every glance, check out the Memory Drawing course at AtelierRousar.com/MemoryDrawing!

I am a classically educated artist who discovered a love for teaching early in my training. Since the mid-1980s I have taught hundreds of people from ages 6 to their early 80s how to draw and paint what they see. I do this in person, online at both the Sight-Size and Memory Drawing website, as well as through my books.
All drawing and painting from life is at some point done from memory, even if that memory is only seconds old. An artist's ability to recall something previously seen is all the more important when their subject is no longer in view. Da Vinci, Corot, Degas, Whistler, and Inness wrote about it.
Memory Drawing: Perceptual Training and Recall teaches you how to visually perceive and accurately recall those perceptions. It will also help you improve your abilities to remember fleeting effects, seize essentials, and even enhance your imagination.
