Another thing that was relatively difficult for me was the balance between an upper level class to a beginning level class. My painting 3 class is all about developing your work the way you want to. It was hard for me to switch back to doing representational work and draw exactly what i saw.
I don't think that I really took as much advantage as I could have of the course, but I feel like I did learn a lot despite all of my complaining. I think that line quality and patience became really important to me as the semester progressed. I can definitely see my progress throughout the semester. Everything in this class was helpful to my art and understanding of the human body so i decided to give life drawing another chance and take life drawing 2 next semester.
