Fun Feathers

 Day 29 ~ SE-29-25 "Do not fail, as you go on, to draw something every day, for no matter how little it is, it will be well worthwhile, and it will do you a world of good." ~ Cennino Cennini I had a private drawing class here today, and my student and I created these 'Fun Feathers' together. If you are not having fun, why do it? “Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends.” ~ Aberjhani

Drawing From Life

 "The ability to draw from life determines the artist's skill.This is why live drawing classes have always been at the top of the curriculum for properly structured academic workshops."~ Igor Babailov “Drawing from photos is all well and good, but we also need to draw from life, because our brains process 2D and 3D information differently. Just like a musician practices the same piece of music over and over, if you want to improve as a fine artist, you must train in the same way.” ~ Sandy Sandy

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

 “Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,

And the dreams you dare to dream really do come true. 

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why can't I?”

~ Harold Arlen & E.Y. Harburg

It's Not Enough

 “It’s not enough to love animals; we must actively protect and preserve them.

It’s our duty and responsibility as custodians of this planet.”

~ Daphne Sheldrick
