Back to School

May 10, 2012

I know what you’re thinking.  And you’re right.  I am crazy!  I already have a degree, why am I going back for another?  At least work on a Master’s or something, right?  Sigh.  I know, I know.  I keep thinking the same things myself.  But oh well.  The fact is that you just can’t get a good art education outside of a university.  At least no where that I’ve seen!  And trust me, I’ve tried to get around the whole back to school thing!  But I finally gave in.  On Monday I started my very first painting class on my way to a degree in drawing/painting.  I’m still not sure what I’ll do as my emphasis.  I’m kind of hoping that will just figure itself out as I take the lower level classes.

I know this has nothing to do with patterns, but I wanted to use this blog as a bit of an art journal so I can remember all the things I’ve paid good money to learn and so those of you who want a little more technique can get it without being crazy and signing up to do college all over again!  Like me….  🙂

So, this summer term the class is Watermedia I.  It’s a watercolor class.  Hope you have fun following along!
