I joined yesterday been looking around there all good that I've seen so far
I don't have great talent so I think I will learn a lot in this forum only been practising
as self educated for 50ish years
did try to start a gallery did not manage it will try again later

I love the idea of the challenges

Welcome
join the challenges, they are fun

alidun, I'm new, just registered, but I'm also "old", 86 yrs. I did register with Brenda a few years ago, but foolishly gave most of my attention to restoring brain activity as the result of a couple strokes. A doctor, with the first stroke said I would not be able to draw or paint anymore, so I didn't try. Second stroke Occupational Therapist said I should try anyway. Enrolled in a class and learned cells were sleeping instead of dead, and have been trying to re-learn, ever since. I live with my daughter and son-in-law, neither of which is artistically inclined, but I do have my own bedroom, and another BR (my "studio").

Before I rouse anyone's hackles, I'm a realistic painter, NOT IN FAVOR OF ABSTRACTS. It's tough enough for me to figure out a lot of things without having to figure out what the "chicken scratches" are supposed to mean. I bet that "showed me the door" right there. Sorry! I still would like to learn what Brenda teaches.
I live in NW Arkansas.


PS- Would like to know what "Guided Mode Off" means.
