back in the saddle

Wed Jan 27, 2010, 2:13 PM

So, I had dinner with Jack - my mentor from days as an art student - last night and that was lovely.

But the best part is that, afterwards, I was able to sit in on the evening figure drawing class.

Oh, I was in my happy place! Almost three hours of drawing with a live model for the first time in HOW LONG? ^__^ It was so much fun, I've decided to make that my regular Tuesday night "thing," even if Jack and I can't meet for dinner, I'll go to class. I only wish I could go to the Thursday session, too. But, that's when both of my seminars are - back to back, 3:30 until 9:30pm. Bleh.

But still! Drawing!

Plus, Jack said I wasn't very rusty at all. Yay!

Hopefully I'll get my 'hand' back and some nice pieces will come out of it!

oooh, a fav!

Of course! It's really pretty! It just struck me for some reason. It looks like it should be a larger painting than what you say - but still, so prety.

I hear ya. It's really small. I need to figure out how to create similar effects on a larger scale, but I think I'd need a palette knife that's like, 2' wide and a whole crapton of paint.

Thank you so much for the compliment! =^.^=

For my oils, I'm having to re-learn how to paint, since it's been three years since I last picked up a brush. Hopefully though, I'll be doing more drawings and watercolors soon.

Well, keep working with the time and materials that are accessible and someday, who knows? ^.^ (Goodness knows I had to wait long enough to get back to my painting. I have oodles of sketches lying about, though.)

Much love! ^_^
