My university drawing instructor told me, "I can teach you to render an object in a couple of hours, but what you really need to learn is how to express yourself."

This sounds so much like my youth. I think it may have been that generation. I was told my work, and my ambitions, were too 'old fashioned' in college. I too learned nothing. Now, after having raised seven children I am trying desperately to get back to where I wanted to be back then. Thank you for this inspiration Mr. Whitaker! I had the opportrunity to see some art students working on similar pieces using a grid (something I had never even heard of until a couple of years ago). Although I have never done these exercises, nor have I worked with a cast before, I am seriously considering finding one to work from. I feel there is so much to learn and so little time left for me! Work indeed it is laborsome but such a joy to do.
