You know I once had a teacher who said for each day you don’t study your craft you lose the ability to call yourself “an artist” and fall into the category of “I once was”. The Dalvero Academy is hosting a fall series of life drawing sessions. So it feels really good to say, “Here […]

Did you know in Germany it is said that if a bride sews mustard seeds into her wedding gown, she can be sure of “wearing the pants” in her family? … hmmm, worth a look… Two places as different as Denmark and India illustrate even another […]
View post →The entire time these two were seated across from me I was worried they would realize I was drawing them and  would want to see the sketch (mostly because it looked EXACTLY like them, and I was not sure how enthusiastic they would be about that). Thankfully their interest remained focussed on each other.
