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.
