Hi, Joan!
Thank you for your reply. I have a fulltime job (now and then very fulltime). I'm unable to study with a teacher or in a class. I have time only at night or on weekends.

I would love to see some more of your work.

I have almost nothing. This is my second attempt, the first being Alessia (see in the Oil Critique section). I have never painted or done drawing before, except a few landscapes, a la Bob Ross, last December. But, I like more dimensionality. Action or faces. (My job is 3D animation with computer.)
Last summer, I ordered a few books in English and in German, that's all.
Last but not least: I copied almost the whole Forum here. But I have not translated everything yet!
There are other net resources, of course. I collected ALL of this. I know one cannot replace a correct live course, but what can I do?
Where did I get this idea for miniatures? I found a little book, Elizabeth [W?], "Miniature Painting." I haven't seen a miniature in real life, but in the fascinating photos in this book, they look like little jewels. I must practice in any case, so why not with this?
However, it is a really challenge for me. This piece is still without glazing. The third project is my wife, to keep the family peace.
I said to her: I cannot paint, but there's nothing to do now, she bought the frame, already!
Best wishes to Holland.
Leslie
