- It depends. - Painting with oils is different than drawing with a small pencil that has 'FLALOTTERY' written on it.
What was I feeling when I made "Helena's Florida Room" in 1984?
- I remember using a ruler because the professor told us to use rulers for that "Project One" drawing assignment.
Did he care to notice that I was not favoring precision or super realism, and using rulers to create fine art was a pedestrian approach ? - Maybe I wanted to prove to myself... and to others, including the instructor, that I could make a perfect artwork with a ruler! - And it is so obvious from looking at this fine artwork that I could do it with or without a ruler!
This mixed media drawing/painting is absolutely magnificent! -- just like that young woman that produced it! 💚Me.

HELENA’S FLORIDA ROOM a.k.a. “ Project I ”, 1984, mixed media on paper.... created as a homework assignment for drawing class at FIU -
rediscovered in the old art portfolio after 25 years in the garage of my house in Sunrise, Florida.
