As this is the year I reclaim some time for ME, ME,ME... I signed up to an art class (well, drawing class to be specific) at an art gallery literally around the corner from our house. I go Tuesday nights (except for the first class I had to go on Saturday- confused yet?) and did lots of stuff about Light and Shade, monochrome drawings, tonal pattern, use of line, stippling, crosshatching and creating texture. Tres interesting!! Loved it. Very meditative - quiet, peaceful, just a few chicks like me (Oh, but so much OLDER) and our pencils....oh, and some Irishy-type wheilan pipey type music tinkling softly in the background. Can't wait for the observational drawing component of the course...wonder if it'll be "Life" drawings? Who to have as the model...let me think.....Hugh's busy with the Oscars isn't he.....What about-....no, Miranda Kerr wouldn't allow it, I'm sure.....the NRMA man with the curls, who no longer appears on the NRMA ads anymore I have noticed....well, anyway, I'm sure they'll find someone perfect for the job. Will update on this situation as it comes to hand.
I cannot wait for you to feature some of your artwork...perhaps a new Header for "Who Knew ?" eventually.
ReplyDeleteYes - maybe something stippled....NOT. Didn't take me long to learn I HATE STIPPLING
