Well I had my first art class on Friday. It was an interesting session, getting to know one another, starting to work through the exercise and so on. The first session was about proportions and we had draw a large metal jug. The session must have been interesting as the two hours just flew by. Next week is dealing with the use of light and shade and so I thought I would try and combine the two with my drawings this week. I have been inspired just recently by a photo of a traumatised soldier so this was the subject I chose. Well the use of light and shade has worked out really well but unfortunately I still have not quite the proportion right. So it is back to the drawing board, quite literally! This is how you learn but I am getting better which is the most encouraging thing. 90 percent perspiration 10 inspiration.
