Oh no, how do I always get myself into trouble? I'm announcing I'm going to "attempting" to teach myself to draw! Yes, I have a feeling it's a statement I'm going to regret in the morning (sort of like that shot you order when the bartender announces last call)...
But I have heard that it's a great way to help with photography composition. I'm always looking for ways to change and improve my photography. Plus Presley does like painting "pinking", coloring and drawing, this will now give me something else to do "with" her.
I've never taken a drawing class in my life. I do have a recollection of my study abroad program in Italy. One of our assignments was to draw one of the churches we were visiting while we had lunch on the lawn... My friend in this class happened to be a beautiful artist. I still remember her expression as I showed her my drawing and she didn't know what to say. I do remember her just nodding her head. It was pretty funny...
I do plan on going to the library and checking out a few books to get some direction. I will keep you posted...
...Below is a photo of Presley from swimming today. I just loved the photo, her big dark eyes... She's got a mouth full of carrots.
