I signed up for an art class! I know I’ve been posting my paintings for a while now, but, I found out about a place close by and thought it would be fun to do. Plus, I haven’t had an art class since high school and I want to improve my art.
The first class was yesterday. The first task: draw an apple using pencils.
Here’s the apple:
The teacher looked at what I was doing and said I needed to make it darker, so she suggested I change the photo to black and white to get a better idea of how dark some of the parts are:
Each class is 2 hours long. I can’t believe I worked on that apple for 2 hours and I’m not even close to being done yet! And I’ve learned so much already!
So, here is the unfinished apple. I’m thinking I’ll finish it by the end of next week’s class. I thought I’d let you follow along with my progress!
I just can’t believe that’s 2 hours worth of work, and it’s not done!
Each session is 7 classes long. I suspect I’ll sign up for another session when this one is done. I’m the only ‘new’ person in the current session. Some are in their 4th session, so there’s a lot of different stuff going on in class, which makes it fun too.
Anyway, until next time …
UPDATE:
Here is the final product. I’m not 100% happy with it, but I learned a lot. Total time in was 3.5 hours!
