Finished Product

This pastel

is finished.

I had a

drawing

teacher in

college that

used to say

a drawing

was never

finished; that

you could

always go back

and change or

add something.

He was the

drawing instructor

at the University

of Texas in the 70's. He actually did more to teach

me to draw than any other teacher I have ever had.

Of course, it was a life drawing class, and we had

live nude models. We stood at our easels for 3

hours with short model breaks, and the class met

on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. He was

in his 70's then, and he was tough. He would make

us do it over if our drawing did not meet his expectations.

And I am glad now that he made me work so hard (I

wasn't always glad then!) I can always hear his voice

in my head whenever I draw.
