I'm in New Orleans (in my mind)

I just finished the second assignment for my class. This was about taking a pen and drawing. There's no correcting! It's like being a trapeze artist without a net! Scary and exhilarating at the same time. I loved doing it! I know that I've done this before. I've read Danny Gregory's books and thats his method. Just do it, and always with a pen. The funny thing is that a lot of the artists that I like paint like that. It's hard to find a happy medium because I know that it's important to know how to draw correctly. I struggle with it because I feel like I'm cheating if I don't have it that way. This painting is different, I really like it and I'm not bothered by the wonkyness. (is this a word?) Taking a trip to New Orleans is a good thing! Thanks, Laure.
