Drawing has always been the bane of my existence, artistically that is. Art teachers in school threw me out of their classes, saying I had no talent, basically because I couldn't draw. In recent times, mentors and teachers have consistently critiqued that I needed to work on my drawing. I bought books to work on it myself, but there is just so much you can get while trying to draw with your right brain from a book. So last semester I took a drawing 1 class with a great teacher, Irina Danilova, who delivered the basics in a way that no one could mess up. Now I am taking the next drawing class with another excellent teacher, Gregory Paquette.He had us working with ellipses to be able to draw rounded objects in perpsective.
We drew rubber bands placed around vases and even invisible vase, made only of wire. It is
amazing to feel the roundness and volume of something when it is merely a drawing on paper.
