Here’s the final painting for my class! I think my favorite part is the honeycomb pattern in the background. I tried painting on wood for the first time, and I like it so much better than canvas. Canvas drives me crazy with it’s bumpy texture! Trying to get paint into each little crevice is so tedious. I love how smoothly the paint flows onto a wooden surface.
Here are my thoughts on the painting e-course. I don’t think I would recommend an online painting class to someone who has never tried painting before. There is no substitute for having the teacher standing there with you, showing you what to do, and giving you one-on-one feedback. Overall I’m glad I took the class simply because it forced me to paint again. If you’re like me and you need a kick in the butt to pull your paint brushes out, a class like this might be perfect for you!

Ooh I love this one! I like painting on wood better than canvas also. I’ve actually bought from art stores this prepped art board, http://www.amazon.com/Speedball-18-Inch-24-Inch-Gessoed-Board/dp/B003IGFQ5W
it’s really cool, especially when you like the look of the smooth surface wood gives
I’ll have to pick up a few of those boards!
i like the honeycomb too. love the colours you’ve chosen.
I really like this one! The colours are great! Will you be attending another class?
I’m not going to take another class anytime soon, but I am planning to keep painting on my own!
Well can’t wait to see it! :D
