Back to School (Hurrah!!!)

We all went back to school today - the kids to their respective schools, and me to art school. I'm celebrating on both counts - thank goodness the kids are out of my hair & their days are occupied and thank goodness for art school - I've missed it for the past month.

Here is a selection of the days work - I've completed my Colour & Design course, so have joined a General Drawing class on Tuesday afternoons (thus the guitars, etc). In Life Drawing we have moved into Portraiture - today our subject was a gorgeous young 2nd year called Kim who was lovely to draw.

I particularly like this quick and energetic sketch of the stuffed crow from the art school props storeroom - the drawing only took a few minutes when I was warming up at the beginning of the lesson, but I'm really quite happy with it. I think I'll dedicate it to my dear friend Brenda, who loves our feathered friends ;-))))
