Line and wash is always quite popular; unfortunately, the chosen subject called for a basic understanding of perspective, which proved particularly challenging for some people. The knock-on effect of that was that I spent more time explaining two-point perspective than I did the line and wash technique. The good news is; despite the challenge, most folks actually reported having enjoyed it\u2026 phew\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Code Alpha announcement was made during lunch &#8211; this would be a medical emergency requiring the immediate attention of the medics, on deck 14.
