It was a very exciting evening for me. I went to the RVAA meeting at the town library. They had an artist doing a demo. She worked first in acrylic and finished the picture in oils. I was so inspired that I bought her book and am thinking of taking a class from her. I loved her technique using acrylic and oils. Actually, I put acrylic on my canvas before I painted my rose in oils so I'm hooked. This artist teaches in all mediums. I'm going to take an all day pastels class from her because I have a pastel set and would like to learn how to paint in pastels as well. Her oil class has already started so I may not be able to join her for that class. Maybe the next session?
I know that I have a lot of activities and a few memberships in clubs, but this particular club was the art club that my mother belonged to for many years. I know one person in particular in the club so I don't feel like a stranger. I also think that Mom would be happy that I'm carrying on the tradition since she is the one who encouraged me to start painting. It took almost an entire lifetime to convince me, but I'm on my way now.
