The first session was Flashlight Drawing, but I can't talk about that until I receive my disc of artwork the instructor is sending. (It was my favorite session!) But if you look here you might get a taste of what's to come.
We did a surrealist method called Exquisite Corpses in which a piece of paper is folded in thirds and artists draw either a head, a torso, or feet without having seen the rest of the drawing then pass the sketch to the next artist until it is a wild creature.
Here are a few examples:
This is a head the instructor drew.
Here's a horse head I drew.
I drew Ghost Lady and she happens to be my favorite, so I brought her home and I'm going to frame her and put her in my office.
I think she has a story to tell.
But of course, I'll have to tell it for her since she has no mouth. (There is a layered meaning here.)I learned that I want an art studio. And maybe, even if I'm reluctant to admit it because I don't really believe it, maybe I'm a little bit of an artist on the inside.

You, my dear, are an artist whether you draw/paint or not. But you just so happen to be talented in the art department as well as being a great writer.
love that lady. LOVE the horse. jealous. wish I could draw
I desperately long to take a drawing and maybe a painting class. I have never taken either, but I feel there is something trapped inside of me just waiting to leap out through those means....
Blessings, hugs, and prayers, andrea
OH, I think that would be so much fun. That's awesome, Michelle!

Of course you have to go to Heather's blog and look up the guest post I did on how to draw so you can hone in on these newly found skilz :)
You THINK there's an artist inside? Um, yeah! Those are great!
