Drawing a line is a different world than painting. But drawing has a big impact on painting. Line first drawing helps you with your confidence. It crosses over into painting when you apply the same careful and artful approach to your brush. In painting, you want each stroke to count as well. Some people like to go over and over their oil painting. I do not. I suppose that it why I do not underpaint much, except to lay out the form with my brush. I am not really much of an art student, tho, who studies how other people have done it. I just do it. I don't know about art history or art appreciation, or all the methodology there is out there. All I know is what I have learned from experience, not from books.
