I am taking the drawing workshop, life drawing. It was supposed to be portraits but was changed and I am a bit disappointed about that. I struggle with his envelope approach so this will be a real challenge for me. But I am so looking forward to it! I will give progress reports. Luckily I will be staying with a friend who lives in the area and he has a computer I will have access to every day.
I think your plan to begin oils with a limited palette is a good one. I want to do the same, to get used to the medium, too. I have space to work in here at my job. I work in a convent and they have an art studio on the top floor which is gorgeous. But I will be sharing it with three nuns and it may take awhile for me to feel comfortable there. I just need to get up there and begin to mess around, I guess.
In February I am back in class two night a week, Life Drawing on Tues and Portrait Drawing on Thurs. So I may not start into color until spring. Only so many hours in a week!!
