“Knowing how to draw is one thing, but knowing how to communicate is entirely another. It is the difference between a child who can merely speak and Shakespeare who with words creates Romeo and Juliet. One of the great benefits of sitting in on Karl’s figure drawing classes is to be able to witness someone who has mastered an understanding of the human form. Watching Karl we can say, ‘Oh, that’s what it looks like when you know what you are doing!'”
