The one I took was out of a woman's home in my town, it was a small group and we were all so busy with our projects and learning that it was relaxing too.

Just a suggestion Hellion, but LovelaceF is right, doing small things can add so much quality, its' really amazing.
I was taking a portrait drawing class, where we replicated pictures of people with charcoal. I have one more class as it was only 6 sessions but yeah I enjoy it....and it's something to do. Can't say i really ended up interacting with everyone else there too much though....or that it does much to make me feel better about life. Then again lots of artists are unhappy I imagine and I am better than i thought at the drawing.

My family kept saying I should take an oil painting portrait class after, but not sure I'd want to screw around with paint I'd rather just refine my charcoal drawing style and maybe learn to draw things aside from faces with it. The only reason I was able to go though was because my grandpa went to that class and he thought it was really cool so he wanted to pay for me to go.
