Artwork by Paul Potts
This last Fall, I took my first ever oil painting class at a local art school. It was a beginning oil painting class. Like from the basics. I thought, “Still, it is dedicated time to paint every week.” I knew most of the information related to the color wheel and composition from school and the use of acrylics my whole life from 7 years old. So, when we started painting, almost everyone in the class came over to me and said, “What are you doing here. You are not a beginner.” I explained that I wanted to learn how to use oil mediums and what causes the paint to dry faster and how to varnish correctly after I’m done. …
…I have been doing a painting every week since I started that class. …
