Nicki Orbach taught me some anatomy for artists and many lessons in creativity and artistic perception. In this class we were told to put away our brushes and we were given a small feather to use as our painting tool. For preparation we made some 'random' marks and splashes of colored ink on watercolor paper. Then the feather was dipped into india ink (a little diluted with water) and we were rushed thru a series of 10-20 quick works as the model posed for 30sec to 1 min poses with a great variety of music playing in the background. We laughed and complained about the fast pace and learned what we each could do with quick gestures. I saved the works and still enjoy looking at them and remembering the experience. Now I wonder why I have never tried it again!
