A former drawing student lost her cabin in the Creek Fire this past summer. I asked her if I could draw it for her; she said yes and sent photos.
This former student participated in an art show a few years ago, along with 2 other advanced students and me. I asked those 2 others if they wanted to join me in drawing the cabin, and they both said yes. We all really like our friend and wanted to express our sympathy.
It took awhile to figure out what to draw, how to fit it together, who should draw which part, and even how to sign it.
It took awhile, but we did it! Our friend was very touched, particularly by the fact that we each had a part.

What a special and beautiful tribute for your friend and student! I’m sure she will treasure the memories you created for her.
And I can barely tell which drawing is yours . . . which means you taught the others well!
Sharon, the students who worked with me and the one with the cabin don’t need lessons to learn but took and take lessons in order to have a time set aside to draw and for the encouragement and camaraderie.
