Well, I attended my fifth or sixth art class today. I had no idea what Charles had in store for us, but I couldn't wait to arrive.
When he told us we were going to be drawing faces, I wanted to leave. Faces are hard, hard, hard, and I had no idea how he was going to approach it. But, true to his word, he started slowly and talked us through it. He also used several examples of famous artists whose faces and necks are far from realistic, which gave us freedom to have unrealistic people.
Amazingly, when I finished, I was delighted with my piece. Not delighted enough to put it on this blog, but certainly happy enough to show it to Don when I get to bring it home.
This weekend when I was doodling, I drew some flowers . . . and they looked like flowers. Rick and Don could even tell what they were.
I have a LONG way to go, but the fact that some of my work is actually looking like it is supposed to is certainly a testament to the Monart way of learning to draw!
