take a watercolor painting class

This is something I have always wanted to do. I need to schedule this. Sometime. Soon.

Unlike the drawing class I signed up for which was then cancelled, this watercolor class will take place. I won’t close this goal off until the last class, but it’ll be good to mark it off when I’m done. It’s been too long.

I signed up for a weekend workshop in November! This is gonna be the first step and maybe later I’ll sign up for more courses!

After introductions, the teacher instructed us to set up easels and sketch a still life of a paper lunch bag using different types of charcoal media, concentrating specifically on light and shadow. Afterwards, we critiqued each other’s work and received feedback from the teacher as well (mine certainly wasn’t the best, but far from the worst). I’m holding onto my Paper Lunch Bag masterpiece (even though it kinda sucks), just in case I do become famous one day. Then my young mistress can sell it for millions long after I’m dead and buried…

Class starts Tuesday the 12th. Thanks for the tip, sonyaseattle!

Beginning Drawing at the Lillstreet Art Center, an 8-week course that starts July 13th. I really wanted to sign up for Watercolor Painting instead, but since the time slots don’t work for me, I will improve upon my drawing skills first. I’ll then be able to take this newfound knowledge and apply it to the watercolor painting class, which I will take during the autumn session.
