Well sort of but not really.
Next week I start a drawing course, which will be every wednesday for the next semester. Last year I really got back into drawing but then after a while got frustrated with my lack of skill to do the things I so wanted in my head. I'm doing at the Latrobe college of Art and Design, and last night I got the details of it and the list of materials I need to bring. I got very excited by the list of materials, I don't know there is something wonderful about art supplies and shops and to have the excuse to buy them seems like a wonderful indulgence.
I'm both excited and nervous about the course- on Monday I have my orientation, I never went to art school or uni, and the last time I learned "properly" how to do something was way back when I was 19 and I studied embroidery at the Embroiderers Guild. And I'm not really an artist, I just make bears and wonky ones at that, so I feel a little funny in a way too. Anyway I'm looking forward to it too, getting some of the skills and having an excuse to buy charcoal.
Hope you have a wonderful Friday

I love the smell of art shops.. Maybe that's cause Matt worked in one too? But I just love the smell in there!!
Awesome Jess - sounds fantastic, I am looking for a course to do myself! Inspiring girl
Sounds very exciting Jess! And you are so an artist, don't sell yourself short. You create beautiful and lovable things with your hands. That makes you an artist in anyone's book.
