ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I was inspired to paint The First Supper after Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, by the narrative drama and magnificent composition of Leonardo's painting. I wanted to challenge the patriarchal concept of thirteen men on one side of a table that is accepted as a celebrated religious symbol. In place of the men, all with similar features, I painted an international group of women. (READ MORE...)DRAW LIKE DA VINCI

"... Leonardo Da Vinci's drawings are among the most magnificent ever created. But how did he achieve his effects? Choose his materials? Define his approach? Susan Dorothea White, an internationally known artist and teacher, helps students gain an invaluable understanding of Da Vinci's techniques for depicting the human form and dealing with perspective, line weight, light, shade, and character..." (see Book Reviews)
Draw Like Da Vinci contains exercises on many different drawing techniques, including goldpoint and chalk on emery paper, and how to draw a sfumato tomato using pastels. The seven essentials of drawing are analysed as the fundamental P's – Perspective, Proportion, Perception, Position, Placement, Planes, Priority.
