September 2011 marks the beginning of my 4-year course of study at the Grand Central Academy of Art in Manhattan, NY. I will be learning classical drawing and painting starting from the beginning of learning how to draw, and taking part in the master to apprentice lineage of instruction that has been pasted down from the great masters of the 15th – 19th centuries.
