From 17 to 21 I attended Art College. Two-year course of Technical illustration and a two-year advertising graphics course. I'm now 36, and for the last 10 years my career has been IT. Mostly working away from home, living in hotels and long, long hours. I have just joined a local art club. Literally yesterday!
Tonight I start my next project. The problem I have at the moment is I get half way through one painting and want to start the next. I need to produce as many quality paintings as possible to promote myself. I've been reading the Forum about approaching other people to pose and can't wait. But first I need to build my own confidence and complete about three more pastels of immediate family before attempting oils and asking other people to pose. I'm already drooling at the thought of approaching a charismatic stranger and producing a piece of work which does them justice. Hmmm! Drooling is probably the wrong approach but I think you know what I mean.
