Academy of Realist Art: Still not done


All my hopes and dreams were smashed to the ground last Wednesday, when I thought FOR SURE, I was done with this. Then Cindy, head master of all that is realist, came over and gave me 4 areas to work on. This is a the way of the Academy.... just when you think there is not one point off on the whole thing, they come over and show you how far off you really are. So today, I will get my hopes up again. I'll let you know how it goes...

It can be maddening because you stare and stare and stare and fudge and shmudge and fuss and eat candy and stare and talk about random stuff and stare and complain and stare and stare. Then they point out one things and you're like "HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT?!?!?"

All joking aside, I am really amazed at the progress I've made here so far. I can already tell my paintings at home are better because of the past 2 or so months.

Oh man, I SOOO feel your pain!! I've had stuff like this happen at class so many times...

The worst I think was when I had spent countless hours drawing a face on a figure drawing from a live model, and I was just about done when my teacher said, "the portrait is lovely, but the head is too big for the body..." and I had to start ALL OVER AGAIN...it's all worth it in the end though...
