About the Author
Daniel Stern has been handling a pencil for as long as he can remember...from watching his dad teach sketching and painting to his college students, to the informal still life drawing assignments he got every week in childhood, as well as some formal art education in high school. Fast forward two decades later, and he's still holding a pencil (and sometimes a paintbrush). He desires to transfer some of the skills - and passion - for art he has built over the years, from his dad as well as from numerous other mentors and books he has absorbed since then.
