I started going to an art class in traditional media techniques at Rhyl Library back in October. It’s brilliant, especially for someone like me with a design degree, but a real love of art and a huge desire to learn more! Our tutor Jim Taylor is very laid back, and very knowledgeable too having taught many courses over the years. It’s all extremely relaxed, and the first few sessions in October were concerned with drawing from life – a friend of Jim’s came in to model, first as a bag lady and then as a busker, complete with ancient mandolin. It was great practice, and really taught me to notice form and angles, as well as knowing there was a time limit (as we couldn’t really keep Barbara there all day!)
