Always good advice

Thanks Tony and Jen,
for the good advice. I have been in life drawing classes for two years. Unfortunately the Cleve Institute of Art has cancelled it's evening/weekend programs for this academic year as they are "reconfiguring" the structure for future terms. This was very upsetting to me as I have not been able to find a life drawing class to replace what CIA offered.

But, I think this is going to work out fine as I have just begun an oil painting class which will keep me quite busy until the end of November. I am completing my first assignment and anxious to begin the second one which is to copy a master. Of course I have chosen Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl!!! I have watched many artists study and copy this painting on this forum and in the past could not wait until I too, could attempt my own copy.

It is exciting to be learning oil painting. And it may be several paintings before I have the courage to post one here for critique!!! But more than likely it will be in the copy the masters thread!!

Happy Holiday Weekend
Paint away!
