I don't get as much time as I'd like but I always have a pad of paper and pencils - and watercolour pencils and crayons - close by when I'm watching television so I draw something practically every day. <br /><br />I also notice that drawing skills are somewhat in decline. When I was selling my last house, one of the viewer was an Art School teacher. He happened to see one of my pastel paintings and said he wished his students could draw as well as I did! What really bothers me a lot is that, since I've been doing the surface pattern course, I've noticed that some truly awful drawing is winning prizes and being praised for its 'quirkiness'! Maybe I'm just getting old? :D<br />Judy Adamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986456665704994228noreply@blogger.com
