Watercolors and spamalot

[primsong]

Community theater is doing Spamalot - surprisingly excellent performance considering the smallness of the theater they had to work with, we were in the front row and had the dancers practically in our laps for much of it. Monty Python is timeless.

Also started booping about with watercolors, something I've meant to do for years, got myself going by taking a brief set of "classes" - it gets quotes because the teacher didn't really teach anything, she just gave us a picture idea and then at the end of the class had everyone compare what they'd come up with... mine were awful, but are slowly improving thanks more to youtube than the teacher. At least they don't look like a grade-schooler did them anymore. May go pick up a used watercolor projects book to work through next, the "class" wasn't worth signing up for again.

Well, she was an artist at least - the stuff she was doing over there was pretty impressive...she just didn't teach, unless the way you learn is by watching and copying I guess. There were some ladies there who apparently had been signing up and coming there for years, they said it was therapeutic to them to have the time set aside for painting. :-/ Maybe once I find my feet I'll want something like that too, but it definitely wasn't too helpful for a newbie. BUT - it did get me going, and a kick in the rear is what I needed to apply to myself to make myself start.
