Hello from Katonah, NY
As another background lurker, I have to admit I'm a bit intimidated to post here. I have seen some work that could move me to tears it's so amazing. Then reading through some of the informative posts and viewing some truly beautiful pieces, I realize that I am light years away from where I want to be so I guess it's time to plunge in head first.
My original training was in oils but that was 20 or so years ago, needless to say it's not like riding a bike. I needed a creative outlet and by chance happened upon watercolors. I have since developed a real love for the medium and moved toward portraits after taking a refresher drawing class at a local art school. Although I would someday like to go back and try my hand at oils again, for now I'm more than happy to learn all there is to know about portraits and this certainly seems to be the place.
