Even cooks need to know how to draw…

From Elizabeth David, "French Provincial Cooking", (1960)

As part of a new series highlighting the different situations where drawing could save your life, I have found this illustration in a cookbook. If you are trying to explain how to make consommé, it really does help to have sharp drawing skills.

As an adult, you might think you don’t have the time to learn (you’d be wrong). However, if you want to give your child a headstart, sign them up for drawing classes. You never know, your son might want to become a cook.

Drawing Classes

Many of you have been asking, and now the schedule is out!

Please take the time to review the dates and find the most suitable time. Give me a call to discuss (92734991).

And remember: these classes are mostly observation classes with drawing as an outcome. I have just found this wonderful post that encourages scientists to draw to observe better. This is the reason I started drawing realistically. We all need drawing as a tool, whether it is for remembering a lesson, or something important, for clarifying some facts, for explaining something. Once we are not afraid of drawing anymore, we can even use it for art, or as an outlet to creativity, or as a meditation tool.

Let’s get drawing!
