Studying at a traditional atelier

This blog aims to document my atelier art experience at the Ravenswood Atelier in Chicago, IL over the next 6 weeks. I am looking forward to learning from teacher, Magdalena Almy, as well as from my fellow students. I hope to increase confidence and build on my drawing and painting skills. I know there is much for me to learn and that these next several weeks will involve a lot of hard work and intense study. I also plan to attend the Urban Sketchers Chicago sketch seminar during the 2nd week in July. Finally, I am setting myself a goal of sketching every day while I am in Chicago. This trip is all about art and about me learning as much as I can. I hope you will join me on this journey.
