Hannelore, I don't have much to show right now. There is some stuff, I've had a long time..right now it's all sorts of exercises to master techniques. Including painting something only in black and white acrylic paint that incorporates several techniques we've learned.

I am a newbie..still. Unfortunately this course will end in few wks. which i find frustrating for any interest course where we live. A credit course is way too demanding and requires all sorts of prerequisites --including showing a decent portfolio of work. (Lucky meredith and gimster who have gone through this stage before...) And I have no interest to pay for private lessons..I would prefer group learning since other students just bring many different ideas and experiences to the table to learn from.

Gims, I don't know anything about acrylics. I never tried that particular medium. My love was oils. I painted for 20 years, but just don't have the time right now. I was fortunate enough to take lessons from 3 terrific artists and teachers. I learned something from each of them.

Orchid, I don't really remember about the yellow or why. Only that yellow ochre was the one he told us to use. It was a color we used a lot of in all sorts of paintings, not just portraits.

I have a brand new easel and paints that I got for Christmas last year. I haven't had the time to use them yet. I will paint again someday. Even though I painted for so long and sold my work and received a few ribbons over the years, I believe that I am a better writer than I ever was an artist.
