I appear to be on a roll. So I will just go with it. As I chattered my way to sleep late last night after tumbling into bed closer to eleven than ten, I vaguely remember annoying poor husband with some notion that there was a life-drawing class on every Wednesday morning right here in Mullumbimby, just a long the road. And I think I remember Aaron asking me "was I going to go?" and then thinking that I didn't really have a good reason to not go....
...so I went. To the Dynamic Drawing class at the Drill Hall in Mullum with Ron Curran.
LOVED it! Apparently we had just a small class today, which meant extra help when required. I managed 26 drawings in the 2 + hours of drawing...lots of 1-2 minute poses to get us loosened up and then into some longer ones.
Again, a most refreshing experience and one I'll definitely repeat. By the end I was beginning to feel really confident to just make marks on the paper. I found myself less in the rush which I've associated with life-drawing for myself in the past and more relaxed in my approach. Also, to see what everyone else had produced in the session was enlightening and inspiring!
...here's a couple I feel brave enough to expose...how funny is that - who do you reckon was really the more exposed???
