This document provides instruction on basic drawing techniques including contour drawing. It outlines four drawing styles - simple round leaves, thin leaves, teardrop leaves, and pointed leaves. Students are instructed to practice each style by drawing examples in their sketchbook then experimenting with variations. They will later apply these contour drawing styles to a watercolor project.
