After practising for two years (on and off) I really felt I sort of get a hang of it. I know where my hands are moving! <br />So glad to hear that u enjoyed the course. It was the best experience in my life and I hope it was same to you. See you tomorrow!!! cant waitKalo Make Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102693180504803019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853617753622613573.post-85199776564490889202011-08-15T13:00:22.873+01:002011-08-15T13:00:22.873+01:00Hi Lance,

I'm sure you'd love it, but I know it's rather further from Virginia than London!<br /><br />TorTor Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14055246406314875007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853617753622613573.post-65410628546503322922011-08-15T12:57:32.818+01:002011-08-15T12:57:32.818+01:00Hi Emily!

I think the location drawing confidence grows with practice - at college we had quite a baptism of fire with it, as we did tons of it straight away. In those days I used acrylics so needed water, palettes etc which I had to spread around me - I think this makes you a magnet for CHAT as people see that you can't easily move away... but it does get easier, and mostly people don't hang over your shoulder for too long. Unless it's Paris, in which case they hang for ages and ask you for a drink, really not in a flattering way.<br /><br />I heard about the course from Kalo actually, it was the third time this year. If you look at Yuko Shimizu's website she has posted the details of the school. I would definitely recommend it!Tor Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14055246406314875007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853617753622613573.post-9474817358644989512011-08-14T21:05:19.342+01:002011-08-14T21:05:19.342+01:00The blind drawing technique is useful for when you...The blind drawing technique is useful for when you really need to just focus on what you're seeing, becoming part of the pencil. I've done it enough that I can sometimes draw the exact image I'm seeing in perfect detail without looking at the paper.<br /><br />I'm slightly envious that you got to draw architecture in Venice, in person. The buildings are beautiful(at least what I've seen from photos).Lance Bauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036392071815695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853617753622613573.post-84017095614558743892011-08-13T19:49:49.546+01:002011-08-13T19:49:49.546+01:00I love the blind drawings!

I think it's one of those things that you do on a course, go 'ooh that's fun' and then for one reason or another, never do again!<br /><br />The building pictures are fantastic too, I really love the way your style comes through in them. I wish I had more confidence to draw on location. I find I get very paranoid about people coming and looking at what I'm doing. People don't seem to think it might be uncomfortable to have a complete stranger staring over your shoulder while you draw. But really, I should have more confidence! If you ever want to get together and do some drawing, please let me know! I wanted to try and set up a little drawing club - for people to get together and draw and just talk about techniques etc etc, but just need to find enough people to come!<br /><br />The course sounds so good, where did you hear about it?<br /><br />OK, that's a big enough essay from me now!<br /><br />Emily (MochiPan)Emily Whittakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223466691839342621noreply@blogger.com
