He will give you directions how to do your art
Jadurani dasi : The artists had a meeting with Prabhupada in his quarters. And at that time Baradraj was having all the artists take drawing classes where the model would move around and run around in the middle of all the artists and then run out, and then the artists would have to remember and then draw it after.
So I couldn't relate to all these drawing classes, partly because it was too difficult for me. So we wanted to ask Prabhupada whether he actually approved of these drawing classes. So during this meeting, Pariksit prabhu was asking Prabhupada about the classes and Prabhupada answered, "Yes, morning and evening classes we should have." So Ramesvara said, "No, Prabhupada, we mean the drawing classes."
So Prabhupada said, "But I mean the morning and evening shastra classes. The real technique of any art is hearing and chanting. It doesn't matter what else you do for the rest of the day, but you must attend the temple classes. Then by advancing in Krishna consciousness, the Lord is in your heart and He will give you directions how to do your art."
