The Art Teacher - art fill for J2_Jukebox

[amberdreams]

https://youtu.be/SHu4qfKaruQThere were so many glorious prompts over at j2_jukebox but I failed so hard at them all! Ha ha!
I started a fic to go with this one, but it's nowhere near done, so I thought I'd try a quick sketch as a placeholder. In the fic Jared is eighteen so really he should be taller here. Just imagine he's sitting on a stool or something! LOL

The prompt was by marietwist - Rufus Wainwright's The Art Teacher. The lyrics (with the protagonist's sex changed) are below the picture.

The Art Teacher

Rufus Wainwright

There I was in uniform

Looking at the art teacher

I was just a boy then;

Never have I loved since then

He was not that much older than I was

He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum

He asked us what our favorite work of art was,

But never could I tell it was him

Oh, I wish I could tell him,

Oh, I wish I could have told him

I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts

I liked the John Singer Sargents

He told me he liked Turner

Never have I turned since then

No, never have I turned to any other man

All this having been said,

I married an executive company head

All this having been done, a Turner, I own one

Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,

Thinking of the art teacher

I was just a boy then;

Never have I loved since then

No, never have I loved any other man

Ooooh, I like this premise and your art captures it perfectly. You may call this just a quick sketch, but I love the whole feel of it and the composition with clearly older Jensen's face hidden behind artstudent Jared is so precious. THAT HAND ON HIS ARM, NGH. (Also: bracelets, yessss) Great fill! Good luck with the writing:)

The photo reference was quite different but I liked the idea of Jensen's face being hidden, so I'm really happy that worked for you too! :D

I can't believe you can whip up something like that as a quick sketch! (Well, it's YOU, so I can, but you know what I mean.) I don't know how people can be so gifted at art and writing both, but I'll take it! And look forward to your fic.

Well pencil sketch with digital colour is relatively quick, you know? Probably an hour all together. Thanks!

God, I love this song and then you had to go and J2ify it. ;____; THE ACHING IS SO REAL. I love this piece. You told us so much in one image. I love the body language especially--the image draws our eyes to where their hands are pointing, but then there's so much more to be told by Jensen's grip on Jared's arm and Jared's content little school boy crush smile.

You have to blame marietwist for the idea but yay, I'm happy you like the drawing!

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

I blame her for most things just as, like, a rule.

Well, you at least managed to do something. I couldn't even whip up the energy to look at the prompts. :/

Anyway... this is lovely though. <3

God, Sillie, the prompts are so awesome! But there are so many of them I wanted to so I actually ended up doing nothing because I was flitting from one idea to the next. There's nothing to stop you having a scan of them now and picking out any that appeal to you - if you do a picture from one of them you could put it into a reverse bang and maybe get a fic out if it! :D

And thank you!

This is GORGEOUS!! BB!! I can totally FEEL the feelings in here, LOVE Jensen's hand on his arm, just GUH!! Those beautiful wrists, and Jensen's throat, mmmm, just so lovely!! *nods* ♥♥

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! It was so quick and scrappy I wasn't going to post it but quickreaver said go for it, so... :D

[riathemai (from livejournal.com)]

Oh, wow. That is amazing.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!

Can we get a round of applause for the woman who just gave me all the tingles and wibbles? :) That's brilliant hun, I like that Jensen's face is hidden, but we just know it's him. I like the little point of Jared's nose and the crispness of the lines. Simple and beautiful.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

who is this woman then? *snurfle*

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

LOL! Shut up ;)

[emmatheslayer.livejournal.com]

Love

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

♥ thank you!

What a great prompt, and you're telling so much of the story here in your gorgeous art (not that I don't want to see a fic - because boy, do I want to see the fic!) But I love Jensen's hand on Jared's arm; it really does seem to say so much, maybe more so because we can't quite see his face. The sketch style works so well here, given the subject of the prompt to and I just love it.

Thank you so much for sharing, and I'm really enjoying seeing all the fills for this challenge - there were so many strong prompts!!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I think I was undone by the prompts - I had a list as long as my arm, flitted from one to the other, and then ended up doing almost nothing!

Anyhow, I'm glad you like this one. If I can settle down and concentrate on one thing instead of trying to write four fics at once, I might even finish the story to go with this! LOL

THIS IS SO CUTE! I love Jared's consterned profile, how Jensen is moved in tight, TO COACH...

Gorgeous, AMB!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

That young teacher is coaching HARD. LOL
Thanks for the encouragement, as always!

Ooh. Very nice! I like the casual intimacy. Very sensual.

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

this is so lovely! jensen's guiding hand on jared's drawing hand, jensen's hand on jared's arm, jared's face. the sketchiness makes it especially dreamlike.

[hugemind.livejournal.com]

This is gorgeous! And Jensen's hands on Jared. ♥
