katiekind Deactivated Peace be with you. Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: the sweet sunny south Posts: 15,346	Oil Painting! Anyone else besides me? I am SO excited about oil painting right now. My dear friends' daughter is an amazing artist and just opened a gallery/painting studio in our town. I am taking one of her oil painting classes and it is SO fun! Well -- I should qualify that. It is the kind of fun that lurks between complete frustration and occasional thrilling moments when you step back from the painting of a stainless steel bowl you're doing and - amazingly - it LOOKS like a stainless steel bowl! Class time is very absorbing but supportive. There are a couple of mothers of young children who are in the evening class and they love it for the change of pace. Jenn lets them keep their supplies at the studio to make it easier on them (and no worries about kidlets drinking the turpentine.) I have never had an art class in my adult life and was never previously artsy, but it's amazing (if I say so myself) how far I've come already. And that's true of the other adult beginners as well. I'd encourage anyone to give this a try. One caveat: gathering together the paint, brushes, etc, is a little expensive at first.
