Just a quick note, since someone commented on the value of self-study and learning from Internet forums. I no longer have the financial means to lay out $600 for a workshop. Or even $300, for that matter.
Further, what passes for painting instruction in my area is not geared toward what I want to do. (That's saying it nicely, I'll just leave it there). So diligent self-study and asking questions on the Internet is all I have.
But know that when I ask questions or am even given unsolicited advice on something I will always, without exception, go and attempt what I was told. Many folks in different forums have offered advice on a range of subjects only to have me post an example a short time later of my attempt to duplicate/understand what they were speaking about. I will never waste anyone's time here or on any forum.
Will I ever sell at large galleries? I doubt it. Will I ever get a portrait commission? Maybe. But I will still strive to paint as well as Michael or Mr. Mattelson, and I will never let my lack of resources be used as an excuse not to put out 100%.
