Hi everybody.  Just signed up for the lessons.  Extremely interested to see how I can improve my current painting style.  A bit about me.

I'm one of those painters that is working a full-time day job (writing software for a neuroscience company) and working my art business at night.  I have an agreement with my wife that I can be a full-time artist when I match my salary three years in a row.   So, working towards that goal.  

My preferred medium is oil painting and I absolutely love plein-air work.  I've learned more about landscape painting by painting outside than anything else.  The light changes so fast and the information is so overwhelming that you have to learn to get the essentials down.  Once I'm done with my plein-air pieces, I sometimes use that information to create a larger studio piece.  In addition to painting traditional landscapes, I also create fantasy works ... just started doing that.

My website can be seen at: http://www.doughoppes.com.  If you are on Facebook, add me as a friend! ( https://www.facebook.com/DougHoppes ).  I also have a fan page ( https://www.facebook.com/ArtOfDougHoppes )
