I Started painting in high school, as a result of football injury. It was a way to take up time that was otherwise idle. I had an interest in art and had been drawing since elementary school, but always wanted to paint. I attended a local class at an art gallery/art supply store. Back then there were no Michael's, Hobby lobby, etc every store was independently owned. I got lucky that the store I chose had some good artists in it that could teach me about color and mixing. I started with oil paint, and will come back to it...more
