DRAW and DRAW, like you've never drawn before


And so I took every opportunity to draw. Family sitting down watching TV, reading or whatever. I was out with my sketch pad and pencil. I was loving this, and quietly pleased that I was getting more confident with my execution of the sketch. I felt that they were looking like who or what they were supposed to be. Yes, I felt I was improving. I continued with my art classes monthly. And Ijoined the AGNSW as a volunteer too, This was all getting exciting now. I was asked if I could help as a volunteer with a mixed media class. Another volunteer and I got to the gallery early and set up the area where we would have the class. It was definitely challenging. I had never volunteered before, and this was a relatively new area for me... mixed media. There were some really gorgeous works produced. Most of these people were not from artistic backgrounds and yet they were producing some delightful pieces. I also got to "DRAW THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET" at the Opera House and got to see Duncan (bro) do his daily piano work of accompanying the dancers. Drawing these models was such a challenge as they never kept still for a minute. But it made you think quick about the poses. The end results were OK I think. Then I continued on with the monthly life drawing classes (next one is this Saturday)
