Another medium. 11 months ago

I feel like I learned a lot in my drawing class, but I wanted to find a medium in which I felt like I could express myself more. So for Christmas, J. got me a set of decent pastels and a well-regarded instruction book, so I’m going to give it a shot. There’s a pastel class being offered later this spring I can take if it seems to grab me.



My class... 13 months ago

is based on the book about drawing from the right side of the brain. It’s great for me because I’ve never had art classes (since elementary school!) and don’t even understand the basics about proportion, depth, perspective and how to draw those things. I just know my drawings never looked right (besides the fact that they were basically stick figures!) We’re drawing buildings right now and just learning how to see the angles as they appear, not how our left-brain “knows” that they are. Someday I hope to be able to draw well enough to draw what’s in my head and use it creatively. But for now it’s really great to be getting the basic concepts and skills.



signed up... 15 months ago

for a beginning drawing class. I’ve always been a pretty lousy drawer, but this is one artistic skill I would love to be able to have somewhat (also sculpture.) So every Monday night for 10 weeks, I’ll be doing that….
