Lesson Discussion

  1. I’m really enjoying the course and learning a lot. However, it’s very frustrating when the reference photos are sideways. I skip those lessons.

    • Hi Virginia,

      The reference photo for the house is sideways so you can have a large version of the image. You can print out the references and just turn the paper sideways. I hope this helps.

      • Thanks for responding. I could, but I hate wasting paper and ink. I didn’t find that particular image very interesting, so it wasn’t worth it for me. Looking forward to doing the cabin in a couple of days, though.

  2. Matt, I was so sad to hear of the misfortune suffered by your sister and brother-in-law over the loss of their house and so many of their personal belongings. I was moved by your statement about hoping that something good may yet come out of this. I have found many times in my own life that the worst has been the preparation for the best. I will soon be 89 years young so I’ve had many opportunities to experience that in all those years. I will try to do an extra good job on the house drawing as I am thinking of your relatives and sending my best wishes to them. Lorraine Robertson
