This is how I learned to paint and draw:
* I drew pictures at the kitchenette with my Dad . * I am primarily self taught / instinctive in my painting * I took art classes throughout middle school and high school. * I worked as Assistant Art Director at an advertising agency February 1989-July 1990. * I studied one semester with Don Alexander at Louisiana State University. ( I recommend more than one class -hindsight is 20/20). I now even have a couple of students of my own. * I participated in the Shreveport Visual Arts Critique Group. * I ask a lot of questions of other artists. * I pay attention to constructive criticism and I use anything I learn to try to better my work. * I am still learning. I hope to always be still learning. I have participated in these events : * Dia De Los Muertos show at Minicine?
