Educating the Adult Artist




As an adult artist with a large family, and one who has talent, but very little art training, my question is this: How does an adult receive the kind of art education necessary to become a great artist?

I am aware of the fantastic art workshops available world wide. However, because of my lack of training in the classics, etc., I feel very intimidated and unqualified to attend (not to mention the time committment to go to France for a summer). I know I can benefit from more training.

The last "college class" I signed up for at our local community college took me at least a year after to find my own style again. I found all of my work looked like the instructor's.

Also, many workshops or classes are juried and will only accept intermediate to advanced or professional. How does one decide if the work I produce is of that caliber?

Education comes in many forms and I've gained a great deal from this site!
