kcmastere is amazing
Will hopefully be attending college next year!
How I did it: I took an art class at a college for a few weeks while developing my skills and abilities. I also was able to visit the local art museum and take in a lot from it
Sold 3 paintings (all of them) at the plein air exhibition. I continue to take still life classes. My portrait class just ended. Last month I participated in a 4 day plein air workshop.
I painted in the bird sanctuary yesterday and today I painted a farm. I think the trick is to just keep painting.
I exhibited in a still life show and sold two paintings. I’m in an upcoming plein air show.
I continue with classes….still life and portrait.
I’ve been painting up a storm…figure, still life, portrait and plein air. I’m going to be in still life student/teacher show in February and a plein air show in March.
I’ve since taken 3 figure classes using the oil painting technique of the old masters. I’ve also taken an alla prima portrait class, 2 3 day workshops (landscape and cityscape) and I join the Plein Air Painters of Chicago nearly every Saturday morning for painting.
I started an oil painting class at the Palette & Chisel
