Life Drawing Class with Robert Goldman

Monday a new adventure starts. I am enrolled in Robert Goldman's Life Drawing class. So for 3 weeks I'll have 2 classes a week. Looks like I might need to start painting the things I'm drawing in Robert's class. I'm excited but nervous about this new class. I am in over my head there. I am in awe of his paintings. He is a painter's painter. Like Sorolla or Bongart. And the class is full of accomplished artists. But I am not the only beginner. It will just push me to draw better. We will draw from models every week. This will really be a challenge. I have no idea how to even start. There are some artists enrolled that I really admire. Stephanie Birdsall being one of them. And then there will be little ol' me....struggling beginner. But Robert assures me his class is geared for all different levels. Greg is currently attending Robert's painting class and so I've gotten glimpses of Robert's teaching style and I think I'll be okay. He just doesn't know what a temper I have and how mad with myself I can get. But as usual I'll reserve that for our little dining room studio at home where I work out my artistic frustrations.
