Today I woke up early, had breakfast, and took the underground to my drawing and painting teachers studio in France off the St. Denis exit. It was a three hour session with a nude model from Paris who was also an artist, and we worked completely on the feeling of drawing. We did gesture, which is super fast lines capturing the energy of the body, and contour, capturing every detail of the body from the texture to the lines of the body. Our teacher is really cool and wants us to be healthy and she gave us a half hour medititation yoga relaxation session. She was literally professional at it, I felt really relaxed and it helped me draw a lot. The painting class tomorrow is going to be really fun I think. After this week I will have this class on Mondays and Tuesdays.
After class I got lunch at the great cafeteria, walked around the block and got some deodorant and chocolate and mouthwash, and then I played guitar with my roommate Sean for a long time.
Then we watched the life aquatic, I explored the nieghborhood a little more, now I am in the lobby! Today was a really great day, and I am so happy I am here. :)

ReplyDeleteYay for drawing ^^
Life drawing is really weird at first, huh? Was it a male or female model? Brie for lunch sounds like a perfect french meal! Take pictures of your art so we can see what you do! I like that you're updating so much too!
ReplyDeletehey, that yoga session sounds wonderful. I love the way the French think. So open and relaxed. We have to watch more French movies when you get back. I want to go see "Paris" this weekend. It's playing at the Hillcrest cinema now.
ReplyDeleteChris Clark says to say hi. We talked for a long time this evening. It seems he's busier than I am, teaching at two colleges as well as completing his MFA program. It was really nice talking with him about all sorts of things.
Glad you're playing guitar. I played in the concert band today. There are two freshman trombonists. There's a jazz band concert tomorrow that I'll probably go see.
