Claudemir, your comment could prompt a healthy discussion. No argument that we all should strive to develop massive skills as draughtsmen/ observers. In fact, that's a life quest. There is no "first this, then . . ."

However, once one launches into working with paint, it behooves the craftsman to master the materials as well as the hand/eye coordination necessary to render accurately. Past that, many, many painters of note (my old teacher Robert Brackman was one) who consider that as a skill in a plastic medium, painting is far different from drawing which considers line. Not the accuracy of judgment and placement, mind, but the medium.
