Week 3 of art class. (23/5/2024)

Tweet

Today was week 3 of art class. My taxi arrived at 1:25pm which I thought was really good because he wasn't too early and he wasn't late. He took me to Wall Village Hall and all was great. Until I went in and the tutor, Tina, said, The taxi driver was picking you up from your house, wasn't he? And I said, Yes, ofcause. Why? And she said, Because he turned up here! So he'd turned up at Wall Village Hall instead of coming to my house to pick me up! ? I had a cup of green tea, but it was the ginsing and matcha and you brew this one for at least 5 minutes! I got a couple of biscuits and I went to sit down. A guy called Peter came with his wife Sandra and their golden retriever Bailey. He is very friendly and likes shortbread! We were doing trees today. My worst nightmare! First we did some thumbnails to practise then we chose a picture from the board for our main drawing. I chose to do my drawing on half a page of my sketchbook because I thought if I did a whole page I wouldn't finish it by the end of the class. We did the outline first with a HB pencil, then started to do shading. I shaded in the darker areas with a 4B pencil and lighter areas with a 2B pencil. At about 3:30pm I got another cup of tea and while I was waiting for it to brew I had a stroke of the dog. He was just standing looking with those big brown eyes and I couldn't resist! I continued doing some drawing. I darkened some areas and lightened others with a putty rubber or a pencil rubber. A pencil rubber looks like a pencil, but instead of lead it has rubber in it, but you can get into more detail with it. I took the picture (above) while I was still in art class. At about 5:05pm I went out and my taxi was there waiting for me. I came how and told my Mum all about it and I showed her some pictures of Bailey I'd taken on my tablet. Then I showed her what I'd been doing. What have you lot been getting up to today? I hope you are all well. Have a great rest of your day.
