Just like to say a warm Hello to everyone here,

I am both new here and to painting as well. After visiting a local art exhibition I decided to join the group and give painting a go! I was always good at drawing etc when I was young but never seemed to have the time.

Being in a sparsely populated area there is not much in the way for tuition and for workshops so I decided to go online to find some videos and web sites which might help me along the way and stumbled onto Richards site and was quiet impressed with what I can see and having online workshops sounds like a fantastic setup! Soo here I am!

Now I am painting my 3rd painting and enjoying myself and hoping to be able to learn lots here and maybe get in on the next workshop.

Oh I love landscapes especially the Ozzie bush/beach and outback and I am using oils.

Into both realism and impressionism styles.

Anyway glad to be onboard and hello again to everyone!

Hi Gary, My name is Ann. I live in San Jose CA. I painted when I was younger but stopped as my family grew. I started painting with oils again last year and paint with friends in a garage studio. I joined for the last challenge and posted it to my site. Welcome to the Complete Artist. Painting Richards challenges is fun and challenging . Enjoy !

Thankyou for the warm welcome! Your paintings look wonderful Anne! I hope I can get to a level like that.

Yes I look forward to Richards next workshop. If I joined a little earlier I would have joined the current one!

Really enjoy looking at all the wonderful paintings done by the members.

cheers Gary
