Hi from the England!

@Casual-T thank you!
Yes I did look at the perspective class and it'll be one of the first ones I'll be taking ...as soon as I'm back from the Maldives that is JRR Tolkien - didn't have to Google it either!
Wish me luck!

@gavpartridge Thank you! I'm up on North Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire border we're in a small rural town - honestly never seen so many people out taking "advantage" of a daily excerisce allowance
Also not sure how people manage to get bored - like you said - plenty of time for drawing, painting and all that! I teach in primary school as well so have to go to work once a week on a Rota basis but inbetween I'm planning on making the most of SVS lessons I reckon I'll have a nice stash of paintings by the end of this lockdown

My mother used to say "If 24 hours a day ain't enough, you gotta work nights, too!"

Hello and welcome! Perspective was once my arch enemy too! I can't say we are friends now exactly, but I'm on better terms with it now. Hope to see you around.

@Casual-T Genius!!! love it...think I need a t-shirt with this on

[AnnaFleet]

Thank you @TessaW! Nowhere near ready to post any of my work here yet but I will be asking for critique for sure when the time comes!

Welcome! Your style is really cute! I think you will surprise yourself how quickly you'll improve when you start learning in a more structured way. That's been my experience at least. I'm new here too, also taking advantage of all this free time in UK lockdown haha. (btw - we're both brits, both named Anna and both work in a primary school...are we the same person? haha)

hi! Welcome to the forum.

@Annabishop Thank you for the welcome message! OMG! Wow yeah, I think I’m seeing double too which part of uk are you from?
If there’s one thing good about this lockdown it’s my drawing skills getting better! I cannot wait for it to stop though as I know it’s not so good for many I’m still working once a week at school which is a nice change, how about you?

[AnnaFleet]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz thank you! Can’t wait to get stuck in!

[Anna Lindsay]

@AnnaFleet Haha hello twin! I'm from Norwich, I recently moved to Cambridge though. Yeah I totally feel you, trying to stay positive and see the silver linings but I'm devastated that I'll be out of work for who knows how long. I've not been put on our school's rota since I'm employed through an agency to give 1-2-1 support to pupils and the school can't afford to keep paying agency staff right now. Hopefully I'll be getting that lovely furlough allowance we keep hearing about - fingers crossed!

[AnnaFleet]

@Annabishop Fingers (and toes) crossed it doesn't last that long....let's focus on positives and all the amazing work we can create in that time!
