Wednesday .... long day!

I usually have a light Wednesday but I have had two classes today and am preparing to leave to go on location and teach a BASIC DRAWING class to a group of 14 young girls.

My watercolor group worked on Daffodils ... they are blooming and there for the inspiration!!

My after school students spent their time on bunnies and eggs - color pencils and markers were a flying!!!
Fun time!!!

The group this evening is a new group and I will hopefully pick up a few private students from the lesson.
That is my favorite way to teach - ONE ON ONE and focused on the interests of that student.

Also scheduled a student for tomorrow, this young gentleman was a student of mine way back when he was in middle school and wants to get back into his drawing ... it will be fascinating to see him regain that spark and build his skills, again!

That would be the LESSON for today, it really doesn't matter when you start or restart your drawing and art interests .... like the commercial says ... JUST DO IT!!!!!!

I am back on here to add this note ... the evening group was made up of 15 girls (4th through 6th grade). They were full of energy, manners and talent. They all tried their best and were very creative... I hope to see many of them again.
