when I was little I was sick a lot -- scarlet fever, tonsilities, ear infections, mono (impossibly twice)

I like having an excuse to stay hydrated in bed, reading

I remember the paint by numbers, I vastly preferred these things that were board and glue and colored rocks and string

but I got I think the complete series of how to draw ___? large format books, basically breaking down drawing anything into charcola sketch of basic forms????

I am interested in this because I am interested in how women are told to paint x y z, to follow, learn, rather than observation of sexy nature, for example
