When I finished the gruelling "Advanced Breastfeeding" course in early July this year, I was free to embark on a lot of the creative pursuits that I had been postphoning. Alissa is a fellow art class member at the AGNSW. She is a wonderful artist and is very disciplined and motivated to draw daily. She told me about a couple of groups to join that would encourage my drawing. The first one was The Sydney Sketch Club and the second one an outdoors sketch group. I then found another group which has never yet met but which plans to focus on THE ARTIST'S WAY, a book by Julia Cameron. I have only yesterday received my copy of the book and I should read a few pages every day... starting tonight. I have met up with the Sydney Sketch Club and we have done a day at the Museum and a day at the Maritime Museum. I've really loved it. There are plenty of planned sketch days. The second group meets less regularly, but have a day planned this weekend at Balmoral Beach. I'm looking forward to this, and enjoying meeting new people. I recently met Del Kathryn Barton, who won the Archibald Prize 2 years ago. She was unveiling her new artwork - at an aquisition party at the AGNSW. She's SO YOUNG!!!
