Hi to you all! I found this site by chance having recently decided to 'learn' to draw/paint.

I was fairly good at art when I was at school (a long tme ago!) and have wanted to take it up again but, somehow, never got round to it. As a New Year resolution I decided to give up smoking and thought a new, absorbing hobby would be useful and helpful in my quest to give up the dreaded smokes so, here I am.

A very happy New Year to one and all!

Welcome. Glad you could join the site. I'm new too and have found there is a ton of tips here and the people are friendly, helpful, and fun.

Look forward to seeing your work.

welcome to the site I know how hard it is to give up smoking I used to smoke myself good luck with that I hope you succeed.start doing the lessons on here you will be amazed how it takes your mind off everything else.
