My art lessons are going MUCH better the second time around.
I'll show you my sketches soon. My teacher is fantastic and really laid back, which helps me to not feel super self-conscious and even more critical of myself than I normally would be in an art class. (Perfection is usually possible on the first try, right?)
This week I learned about value and shading. Fun stuff!! It makes such a big difference in the feel of a picture.
So, anyways... just thought I would check in and report on how that's going.
I also bought the most amazing book about acrylic painting techniques, and my dad is helping me turn my mom's old office into a painting studio, so I might be able to actually use some of the techniques soon (more on that later--including the title of the book, which is currently flitting around the edges on my conscious mind, but refusing to actually enter).
