I signed up for two art classes at the local adult school, one in acrylic painting and one in Chinese calligraphy. The acrylic painting class I have to drop simply because I cannot carry an easel, paints, paper, and all the other supplies with me, but I can do the Chinese calligraphy class because the teacher supplies all the stuff and there’s very little that I need to bring to class! That’s great.

Consequently I thought, well, what can I do? I decided to try an online course in drawing buildings and learning from an architect of many years experience. I think this is going to be a really good lesson or group of lessons as I have never been good at drawing buildings and only through a lot of effort and learning about proportions and relationships have I been able to draw this one which is the preliminary drawing prior to any classes at all.
If I say so myself, I did a pretty good job on it and I am looking forward to seeing my progress in the future. There are a lot of tricks that I’m going to learn in this and I will be posting them perhaps as I go along.
And the class begins in 20 minutes!
I think that you did a terrific job on the building!! Love, Judy
Great drawing. Nothing can stop you!
Good job.
Thanks, Judy! I’m glad you like it and I hope I can do better work next time! Just watching the first class which is live has already taught me a lot of other ways to approach drawing and building that I had never thought of before.
Thanks, Fraggy. Let’s see how I progress.
Thanks, Anne! I really appreciate the encouragement.
I look forward to hearing the “tricks.”
