Lessons from the masters: Line

(**MINOR WARNING: This post contains what some might consider to be adult content. Though these are classical master works of art, I felt obligated to put this up. The pieces in question are Titian’s Venus of Urbino, and Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, both depicting nude women. Thank you!**)

Ever since the renaissance, the utilization of line to determine subject, proportion, and space has been imperative.
