Thank you for inviting me to this group.

I have always hoped something like this was out there. I study mostly on my own at home online. I have attended Watts Atelier in person a few times since I live relatively close, but due to a demanding non-art career, that can be very difficult. Studying online is a godsend (Watts Atelier and New Masters Academy, and Chris' YouTube channel!). I will share where I am in my art journey, which I started in 2020 (I talked about this in my comment to Chris' "welcome" post.) I look forward to interacting with other artists here very much! I have mostly been focusing on charcoal, ink, and watercolor, but I hope to start learning oil painting next year. I consider myself a "hardcore hobbyist". I don't really aspire to be a professional, but I want to study and train to get to that level. Maybe when I am older and retired, I can open up my humble little art gallery and sell something every now and then but mostly look forward to having more free time to focus on art. :D
