As a teenager, I used to draw a lot, people liked my drawings too.
So when I was 15, I applied for art school (regular day school) and made it through two days of testing.
However, I was not really talented enough and I gave up at 18, being in my second year for the second time.
But I always continued doing "artsy" things. Leading to a workshop colour pencil which was lovely, and later Graphic Design which I had to give up due to work.
In the meantime I had become a photographer, learning everything on the job.
Every now and then I would try painting but always became frustrated.
So now I sweetly asked my husband if we could spend the money for art school once more.
Had my first class on Monday and I loved it. (even though no paint was involved, first exercise was charcoal.
So watch out for wonderful paintings coming up in the future :mrgreen:
 
Hey, Foto - THAT'S GREAT !!! I wish you lots of luck and great success in your new adventure. I have an acquaintance who began taking classes in sculpture at age 68, and now, several years later, her work is being shown in various exhibits, has sold a couple of busts, etc.. It's never too late to learn!

Do keep us posted on your latest and greatest.

Cheers,

Tom M
 
Most of the people there are over 50, there is even a man who is at least 75 I guess; He finishes this year but doesn't want to. A lot of people never want to leave, so they enroll in another group and then continue doing two different classes :)
 
This is great Christina! I agree, it's never too late to start a new adventure. Keep us posted on your progress with lot's of images!
