1 dKlnt know anything atioul painting. I tried to leani about painting by going to da*** at the (oncuran, which 1 only attended about half of a semester, because of the commute, and then I went to the Northern Virginia Community College, and all they did there wan draw from live nvxlels, which didn’t help me at all.

I decided that if I stayed at home, instead of driving back and forth to a class, I could learn as much by just doing it. So 1 got a set of oil paints, and 1 had them in the house for a year before 1 started using them. I didn't know what to do with them, I was so intimidated by them.

1 finally got them out, and started painting At the time I was using pastel, and that was still drawing, I was still holding a pencil in my hand But to mix colors, that was really different 1 got the oils out, and I started learning about them, and at that time I started getting commission*
