Drawing

Jen gave me an online drawing class for my birthday last Fall….I am finally getting around to it!

I love to doodle so this is the perfect class for me.  I can stay home and draw to my hearts content.

Whimsical packages

I am learning more in the online class than I ever did in High School Art Class.  This instructor uses pencils or sharpies.   She also likes to copy and print out her designs to color.  I had some old drawing pencils but she suggested a special eraser.  Who knew a kneaded eraser could be such a wonderful tool!

That sounds like a perfect class for you — making your own designs and coloring them. I think i would enjoy it, too, as i love sketching.

What a wonderful birthday present; especially since you love to sketch.

How nice! I think I might check out an online drawing class. It might be fun. I used to draw a little but it's been a long, long time. :-)

What fun! I can just picture that doodle colored, size adjusted on a printer, and made into birthday cards! What a perfect present for you. :)

Doing a catch up on my blog reading... belated happy birthday to Gene.... nice school photo of him and glad he is feeling better.
Your hat/scarf is kinda cool! I can see it becoming a necessity with the winter weather you have been getting! Would stay in place so much better than a toque. They always tend to slide up above the ears!
The drawing class looks like it is going to be fun- and productive.

I would love to do some online classes, but we don't have the internet here to do that and just work off expensive air cards :-(. I'll have to look up a kneaded eraser.

That's an awesome gift idea! I have used kneaded erasers back when I was drawing a lot and they are amazing.

Sounds like fun. I haven't drawn or painted for a long time. Just started doodling with a No. 3 Micron graphic marker a few days ago. I'm beginning to get warmed up, ready to draw and paint again.

What a grand present!
Now, do you have a set time, is it real time, or do you just check in periodically?

What a great class! Looks like you've learned a lot already.

What a great gift and you never have to leave the comfort of your home! Did you draw that pile of packages? Amazing! You are very good! Have fun!
