The Drawing Class

Rebecca and Duncan are taking a drawing class.

She told me of the sign up the first week I arrived, but it hadn’t started yet.

She even suggested I sign up as well.

Hard to know when to stop signing up and instead just keep on, keeping on.

I chose the latter.

Still I had all of the excitement of going to the art store and buying the pencils, charcoal, erasers and pads of paper that were on the list of supplies.

 Then Rebecca added the art folder to carry the work in and decided against buying an easel.

Rebecca knows where she can borrow one and before she gets too excited about buying supplies they are going to see how that first 6 weeks of drawing goes.

Last night I could hardly wait until they got home to see their work, which they were happy to pull out and show.

The best part was the one-liners that Duncan brought home with him.

There are mostly retired people in the class. There is a smattering of young adults and then him, the 17 year old.

Duncan said, “It is not often an old man whom you don’t know can come to you and show you a site on the internet of nude females, and the conversation is totally appropriate.”

Oh that kid is funny!

  1. Duncan, you are the best! I love your sense of humour.

    I wish I had signed up too. It looks like you're ready to draw that horse in class, Rebecca.

    Will you update your hand drawing of a corporation to include articulated legs and arms? I quite like your version 1.0 and would miss it.

  2. The sketchers are home from lesson two. Duncan and Rebecca now have homework that includes doing 6 drawings this week. Two every night for 3 nights. They have already set up their dates: Friday, Sunday and Tuesday and then back to drawing class. They had a model at tonight's sketching class. Her name is Manny. She is a mannequin that the teacher brings. One of her hands is missing, and that is the way they draw her, though Duncan put a hook on her for convenience's sake.
