Pine cone

[bunnylove]

This week has been busy for me. Monday gremmie_goo and I started our French lessons and holy crap I actually get it! LOL I always had a bad experience with French in high school mainly due to my teachers being stupid and intimidating (well when you're 10 you sure feel like that). So yes, it was a lot of fun and it shall continue to be fun.

Thursday night I started my art class. It's for portfolio development and we're currently doing still life. Last class I drew a pine cone. You would think they would be easy, but they're not. :P We'll continue with pine cones next class and then go on to a bit of life drawing and then next I'm not sure what. Still I had fun and it's relaxing. For homework I have to do a portrait (woo) of someone from life. I guess that would be my mum although she's less than thrilled by the idea. :P But she's the only one I see on a regular basis that I can get this assignment done in time.

Earlier today it was sunny out and snowing, it was gorgeous and all the little birdies were out having a feed.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my last post, it made me feel a bit better. I'm still having a hard time with it, but knowing that I'm not alone makes me feel better.

I'm currently watching Ghost and hoo boy! I always forget how hot Patrick Swayze is in this (but not as hot as in Dirty Dancing *rowr*)

Wow, you must be pretty good at art then. My art sucks out loud. Seriously, I'm not even done perfecting my stick figures yet.

Aw, thanks, hon. I've been drawing since I can remember, so art has always been a part of my life.

PINE CONE. I've never drawn one before, but I can imagine them being a bitch. (I wish I could take an art class! D: I will if I have the time next semester)

You definitely should try! :)

A pine cone is very difficult to draw. All those light and shadows, negative spaces... Are you doing it in pencil, watercolors...?

Maybe you can draw your mom while she's taking a nap? That way she won't be bothered by it and you'll have time enough to do it well. Unless she moves a lot when she sleeps:)

Pencil crayon, but it's all monochromatic, so it's kind of interesting.

Unfortunately the subject has to be awake, so I'll just make my mum suffer for a little bit. :P

C'est magnifique!

Don't ever ask me to speak French again because I know like maybe a dozen words. I sort of wish I'd taken it in high-school, rather than Spanish. French is so pretty. ♥

I would think a pinecone would actually be hard to draw! They're so intricate.

Seeing the little birdies frolicking in the sun and the snow always makes me happy.

When the little bluebird, who has never said a word, starts to sing, "Spring spring!" When the little bluebell at the bottom of the dell starts to ring, "Ding dong, Ding dong..."
