I am officially an Art Student! My first lesson will be next week!

I met with Pat yesterday at her home, she is a muralist and does alot of commission work mainly Tromploi stuff - Really good!
She seems very sweet. She showed me some pictures of her work and told me she had lived and worked in Europe for sometime, as well as teaching at one of the universities here in Massachusetts.

In addition to having murals in common with Chan, she also did alot of theatre work doing scenery and back drops - the Chan similarites gave me goose bumps.

She will start me with the bare basics at first and then landscapes before people, So Vincent and Devin and Catherine may have to wait . lol She does not teach oils at all (A little disappointing) but we will work with charcoals pastels and acrylics and watercolor.

I am looking forward to it - even if it is an hour and 1/2 travel each way
bus - subway -bus but I don't mind it I like the solitude and people watching riding the "T".

She will start me out using her materials and later give me a shopping list
For our first lessons we will be working on light and shadow using charcoals; the beginning will be real elementary until she sees what I can do, and she will adjust the lessons from there I guess.

I need a refresher on all the rules lol I haven't done much of anything in over 20 years! (Except for one not-so-good Vincent I did as a thank you ;-) for someone)

I will let you all know how it goes!
