i'm thankful for drawing.
i seem to be collecting a lot of hobbies lately, drawing being my most recent one. i took art in middle school and it was something i always enjoyed and never consistently pursued. i have been wanting to take a drawing class the last couple of years and put it off because of school. so i finally took the plunge this fall and enrolled in a class at the BCAE. and i loved it! it gave me the confidence boost i needed to just go for it (sometimes i don't do things because i'm afraid of failing). i finished drawing my potted succulent today and while it certainly isn't perfect, i am proud of it. i can see myself improving and it is really refreshing to get in the zone. my whole mind fills up with observations... studying the shapes and light patterns i see and trying to recreate it on paper.
