NorikoI was not quite sure if I liked painting or art, but there was not much to do in lockdown. Then I found myself enjoying it very much. I paint what I like, the way I like, and always of my favourite things. With this particular course, I was again not sure about the plan initially, learning about other artists with different styles. I would have never done it by myself, but this group provided abundant knowledge and techniques by the tutors on how to be an artist, I found it interesting to know the various ways we can express ourselves. I truly appreciate this supportive group, and without enormous help with knowledge, advice and encouragement from our tutors Richard, Hazel and Anna, I would not be able to stay on painting like I am now. I started with drawing with a pencil and paper which I had around me, then pastel, acrylics, watercolour, gouache, and am now challenging myself with oils. I just enjoy the act of painting! |
