I was at the Scroll Meister's studio last evening for my thrice-a-week whipping. I have been assiduously working on my poor little scrolls, hoping to one day get some kind of nod or wink of approval from Ron.
And I finally did!! I had three pages of scrolls I had done for homework awaiting his approval. He nixed them all...
I spent the better part of an hour drawing and redrawing the scrolls you see below. Ron had some kind of suggested improvement for every one. Then, after using all the negative adjectives known to man (and some I think Ron made up!), Ron said, "Not bad!" I was elated for about 2.35 seconds when he added, "BUT..." and proceeded to show me how to yet improve upon that one. (I'm considering having that little scroll matted and framed and hung in a place of honor in my living room for the world to see!)
So, although you pros might not see much success in these little scrolls, I'm claiming that Ron thinks I'm advancing. For my newbie brothers, take counsel from Winston Churchill: "Never give up!"
Meanwhile, back to the sketch book........
