    I noticed he is left handed and is hanging without smearing the ink. I am left handed too and used to draw a lot but was hesitant to do much with ink and water colour because of fear of smearing.

    I have taken several online courses at the Vancouver Island Art School over the past few years even though I have a full-time art practice and gallery and have taught painting in the past myself. There is no end point to exploring and learning with art. It is a lifelong journey. I highly recommend this school with its amazing instructors and brave engaged students who are at all levels of unwrapping their creative potential. Check out the school’s workshops and shorter spring and summer classes if you would just like a tastes to see if it is for you.

    Embrace trendy progressive thoughts and actions and banish classical literature and the classical Arts of past ages as the work of not woke “men”. The result is dull and uninspiring “works” described and supported by trendy cliches that will decay and be discarded over time.
