@Heather van Doorn is one of my IRL students and has been working VERY VERY hard to really understand oil painting. I'm not gonna lie, she picked a HARD image to paint. The image she chose has very subtle paint color shifts and values that she is having to train her brain to see. She took my 5 hour class in IRL June and she has returned 3 times so far for "Open Studio" to continue working on it. How about you guys tell her what you think about it. She still has one more session to get this finished up. This is what we do in "Private Lessons" in the classroom. 1:1 attention to paint THE painting that you want to paint. When you are finished, you will have confidence to paint on your own.

This is going to be a pinned post for introductions. Please let us know 🌎 Where in the world are you? I find it so cool that we are so international. 🌱 What kind of art experience do you have? Elementary school all the way to I paint almost daily is all cool. 🖌️ Have you ever tried Oil Paints before? Are you afraid or do you love them? 🖼️ Share a bit of your work here if you feel comfortable.

You guys!! This is the biggest fresh water fish I have ever caught!!!! Not that size matters that much to me. 🤣 but this one was amazing.
