Today is my second painting class.
I mostly learned last week all the things that I just take for granted when drawing or painting. Things like knowing when you should dip your brush into more paint, keeping a point on your brush, how much water to mix into your paint...things I am finding that most of my students simply do not yet comprehend.
i also had a literal last minute sign up. As I was unpacking my supplies at the activity center a woman asked if I was teaching the art class. I admitted that I was the culprit. She then told me her daughter would love to learn to paint. I asked her daughter's age...she was 9! Well I told her the cut off age was 18, as I did not want to deal with kids in a three hour class session. But the Mom was insistent and to make a long story short I now have a nine year old girl in my class. But she was very well behaved and maintained her interest for the entire class. I was pleasantly surprised. And for a kid, she did a pretty good job too.
so we do it again today.
I'm not sure yet if I am going to enjoy this experience or not. By nature I'm rather a selfish person. I want what I want when I want it. Part of the reason I don't have any little Bivouacs...a big part really.
When the 11 weeks are up, I don't know if I will want to do it again or not. It's certainly not for the money.
Last week we did individual paintings from photos. But I was spread a bit thin. So today we do the Bob Ross thing...I paint and the students copy, badly, what I do. And we'll see how that works out.
Onward!

Which art tablet to buy!
My lovely wife has agreed to buy me a touch art tablet for Christmas.
I have read a lot of reviews for a lot of tablets. But I just can't seem to decide which ones are the best.
I understand there may be an artist or two here on Deviant Art, so just what sort of tablets do YOU folks like and use? Which one should I buy? Hints, suggestions, help of any sort is desired. By the way, COST is not a huge consideration.
What I want is a tablet that you can draw directly upon. I have an old WACOM tablet that I use with my computer monitor but I want to draw on the screen itself.
Let the suggestion commence!
Getting my cartoon published!
I recently learned that BACHELOR PAD(http://www.bachelorpadmagazine.com/) Magazine will be using my retro-style cartoon(From SEVEN years ago! Has it really been that long????)in an upcoming issue(next issue?)of the magazine! Please check out Bachelor Pad at the web link. It's a lot of fun and VERY well done(especially some of the cartoons).
I am very pleased to be contributing to BP. I never received any really good caption suggestions for this cartoon. So Jason and I brain stormed and came up with one that we both liked. But you'll have to wait until "my" issue comes out to learn just what he and I came up with.
Need female Model in Hollywood California area
I need a female model for a job I am doing for a client.
I would like to be able to meet with the model and photograph her posing for figure drawings on a comic book type project. So she would have to be available in the Hollywood California area for the shoot.
I just need reference poses for a comic book type project. This will be a very simple shoot. Not in a studio with tons of lights and a fancy camera. Just a digital 35mm style camera and a light or two. If the model has a room or space in which to work in, I can come to her. Boy friends, girl friends, bodyguards are more than welcome to monitor the shoot. This is all on the level.
Ken Taylor and Dolly Bird
I recall an erotic(porn?)comic strip that appeared in OUI magazine back in the 1970s. It was entitled "Dolly Bird" and was drawn and written(?)by someone named Ken Taylor. Dolly was a globe hopping 1920s flapper sort. An independent British woman who came from money, and took on all sorts of jobs and adventures. She encountered a Dr. Frankenstein type fellow in her origin adventure, who's MONSTER had eyes for Dolly. In another installment she tried to photograph the Loch Ness Monster and attracted the advances of an amorous Scotsman.
And as one might imagine, she ended having a lot of sex with a lot of different men. And often somewhat aga

Sounds like things are going OK. And that kid... Heh heh... You probably just fostered the next Georgia O'Keeffe.
