So Ann decided that we would draw darker more dramatic shadows if she turned some of the studio lights off. She had to get up a step ladder to do this. She moved one of the more precarious easles, held together with a piece of rope and it fell over. The carefully hung white jacket that had been on the back of it fell directly onto a drawing and a cloud of charcoal dust fell on top of it. Fortunately owner of said jacket was very laid back about it. He ended up with charcoal all over his face to match his jacket. "It would be good if you could keep the floor a bit tidy, since we don't have a cleaner," Ann said hopefully at the end of the class as I looked around under my feet at the fragments of charcoal stick crushed under foot and walked all round. Perhaps she should have mentioned it at the beginning of class.
