become a painter

So in 2007, I took a painting class in college. I had to paint self portraits, food, and geometric still lifes. Also brown paper bag still life. We learned both oil and arcylic. Started in black and white and slowly moved up to color.

I now own a whole set of oil paints, I have brushes, easel, everything I would need to paint. I feel that I’ve overcome my fears, such as public criticism, and making that first mark on a blank canvas.

I got a B in the class and now when I just want to get away from the computer, I can paint. This was always what I wanted and I think that I’ve achomplished my goal. I keep a sketch journal so when I think up stuff that I would love to paint, I mark it in there and when I have the time I will get to it.

I have been painting for a while now. Amature stuff, but painting non the less. Going to put them up on EBAY and see if anyone might actually like them and want to purchase them. Getting better.

My teacher says I’m pretty good and ready for everything that takes to become an academy student…we’ll see…

I’ve started with drawing…it’s getting better with every single line

This summer I’m going to try to enter an art academy. I have to paint and draw cca 20 pieces…
wish me luck :D

I have an oil painting I started in 2001 of a beach in Greece and I need to finish it. So it’s on my list now officially of something I need to do. I prefer acrylic paint so I will need to remind myself to start painting it.

This week I have painted for 3 nights in a row, it started first with a school project that I was frantically trying to finish. I originally was going to do something digital which wasn’t working so I thought lets paint my concept. It went smashingly well so now I have a new drive to keep painting. It’s fun especially when it’s not for school.
