Linda, I hang in there. Karin Wells has posted a wonderful thread about what she thinks beginners as well as those who are more accomplished should do to get a likeness down and practice in the process. Sharon's harsh critique probably comes from knowing that you will pay dearly for the shortcuts you take now. I personally never understood color theory, was always bored with it and now can be caught scratching my head wondering what to do next, while working on a piece. Yes, some think I should join you in ART 101, but heck I love this job too much to stop now. Surround yourself with art books on technique, set small goals and practice drawing whenever you can. Develop elephant hide, Sharon is right-the art world is not nice- and you will need it. Defy and conquer!
