O TYM ODCINKU
I’ve been through much tighter pinches than a community painting class. Even so, unfamiliar expectations and imperfect Spanish gave my brain plenty of unknowns to rehearse.
The actual class brought an open workshop, a jug to draw, helpful advice and an awkward conversation. I’m clearly no Picasso, and my Spanish isn’t ready for an announcer’s microphone—but the drawings were improving.
