Please note that I really do check your answers to these questions. If you don't complete them then I won't allow you access to the painting group. This is necessary to stop spammers and scammers. Okay?

Okay!

How would you categorize your painting style?

Moving towards impressionistic

Which medium do you prefer? eg. oils, acrylics, etc.

Currently working in acrylics because in acrylics I can paint over and over until I get it right. I have a slow process sometimes. I would like to ultimately paint in oils and also pastels

Are you a full time artist?

Part Time

Who are your favourite 2 artists?

I'll say Van Gough and Renoir in the moment

Do you have any goals for your painting?

Many, to complete paintings faster and more efficiently. To be able to know where shadows are placed when I don't have a reference for it. Work on painting habits/cleaner pallet/be nicer and brushes and paint tubes. Improve on structure and depth of field. Develop keener sense of composition, values, harmony and unity. Become more facile with my brushstrokes. Learn glazing techniques and how to paint different atmospheres/light. Painting water and snow. Paint some landscapes. Expand from painting animals to painting people portraits. Broaden my awareness of what I don't know.
