Jimmie - You mean you dropped the class you are taking now? Didn't you feel that getting in front of a live model was time well spent - even if the instructor was no good? You better not stop the painting - your going to be extrememly good - you are so skilled & determined.

This class I attended was just as just a visitor - not for instruction. It was a way to get in front of a live person for awhile (for free). I knew when I saw this instructors work in person that she didnt have anything to offer me. She did try awfully hard to impress upon me that she was a professional artist with loads and loads of shows, not just a teacher....I don't know what that was all about, but it was uncomfortable. I did try to have a conversation with her, but she didn't let me get a word in. At least she didn't try to instruct me while I was sketching.
