With so many projects on the go on a regular basis I often don’t have the time to get back to some of the art elements that I enjoyed in the past such as drawing and teaching. As our services have moved so has our focus. I started our business teaching art to adults and kids and now rarely teach art at all. I stopped drawing in pencil as a kid and moved onto pen and ink and that has been the mainstay of my career for the last decade. Both of these areas came back during the pandemic.
I started teaching art classes for kids online when the pandemic began something I hadn’t done for a few years. I was also asked to teach adult drawing classes again in-person at the Oakville Art Society and have been doing that for the last few weeks. The real hum-dinger is that due to the adult art class I have been drawing in pencil again and now know why I stopped, but it was fun a little. I must say I have been a little lax in my artwork over the summer with some other projects on the go. In a weird way it was good to get back to my roots by helping others at the same time. I am also glad we will be starting a pen and ink class this week as after these pencil drawings I remembered why I stopped. Below are the drawings completed during the pencil drawing class.
