I am one of those people that had a HORRIBLE time in art classes, because following someone else's instruction on how to create completely left me uncreative! SO, I quit and tried to learn by trial and error. It has been 13 years since college, and I have had plenty of time to "piddle" and learn on my own.
NOW that I have a better understanding of how I paint naturally, I am in a much better position to learn the the different techniques without being so overwhelmed. Did that make ANY sense at all? LOL As Cynthina said, "there is more than one way to skin a cat" and I find it fascinating to see all of the different ways each gifted artist here paints a face. I feel that I have learned more through this forum in the past few months than I could have learned from any other form of art education.
Your work is beautiful, and you explain yourself very well. SO PLEASE DON'T STOP!!
