create a new painting or paint at least once a month

I have enrolled in a different painting course this term, and I think it will be worth doing, as I am actually learning the basics. I know I have artistic ability, but I have been lacking in knowing the basics in painting, so I have gone back to square one for the moment. And it ensures that I am doing some painting, instead of ignoring the art materials sitting there as I may have done otherwise if I wasn’t enrolled in a class!

Signed up for a painting course to motivate myself to do something. The first week, I got the dates wrong so I missed it. The next 2 weeks I went and did 2 paintings. I was very pleased with the first one I did, the second seemed a bit flat because we had to copy a painting by another artist…doing that really doesn’t appeal to me. I haven’t been back since then because I just think that the class has a bad atmosphere and the teacher doesn’t seem to teach. I can’t go today because it is my son’s checkup at hospital, last week is the last week of the course! What a waste of money that was…sigh.
