The Demo
The demo went quite well. I showed them my examples of pen and ink work and also told them a little about how I got into art and what my personal study had been. My presentation was well received.
When I showed them my practice work, I was really surprised at the response they received. The person who was doing a demo before it was my turn is a college trained artist with lots of experience. She has worked in advertising art and now does portraits. She looked at some of my examples and pronounced them very good and marveled that I hadn't framed them! She couldn't understand why I haven't framed them. I just think of them as practice with pen and ink that gives me experience to do other forms of art, like the oil painting. I haven't taken the ink work very seriously. Maybe I should, --but my walls are already crowded with my framed work. I'll have to think this over.
Any way, it was a very good session and I received a lot of encouragement as I did my talk on pen and ink.
