Diary - I've been taking a painting class recently.

I've been taking a painting class recently. I've started with sketching first and will do watercolour in later lessons. There are only four students in each session, so teachers can spend more time demonstrating how to draw for each student. In my first lesson, almost 70% of the sketch was drawn by my teacher. The outcome of the painting was great but I felt bad because it was not my work. I need to practise more.

I've been taking a painting class recently. I've started with sketches and will do watercolours later. There are only four students in each session, so teachers can spend considerable personal time with each student. In my first lesson, almost 70% of the sketch was drawn by my teacher. The outcome of the painting was great, but I felt bad because it was not my work. I need to practise more.

You're still learning, and the teacher is helping you. That's a good thing, isn't it?

Are sketches the same thing as paintings, or should that word be "drawing"?
