New to Art - Where do one start ?

[Judith Oosthuizen]

I need some advice and hope somebody can assist...

I have been looking at a lot of web sites and a lot of books on "How to become a successful ARTIST" but now I am snowed under with all the information and not sure what's the best starting point.

Can somebody recommend the best starting point ?

Any advice will really be appreciated. 

Thanking you in advance.

I looked at Richard's site and decided to do the following:

• Look at www.livepaintinglessons.com and
• The Beginners Course - Robinson Painting Acedemy

Think this should pretty much help me in the right direction.
