Registration opens tomorrow morning!

Registration for the late Fall session at LVS opens bright and early tomorrow morning, September 29. The Painter X Level I class will be offered again (complete with revisions, thanks to my wonderful students), and the Painter Level II class will also be available.

By the way, for those of you who have earlier versions of the program, all of the material in Level II is also applicable to Painter IX, and most of the material can also be used by those who have Painter 8.

In Level I, there are a few items which only pertain to Painter X, but I’ve identified each of them. Everything else in the lesson also applies to Painter IX. Again, some of the lesson content can be used with Painter 8. You will have to read the page syllabus to determine whether or not this course would be applicable since I no longer have Painter 8 installed.

Level II is a continuation of what was covered in Level I with some very interesting additions. I’m still working on Lessons 5 and 6, so the syllabus is incomplete, but you can go to the class description page and read the content for Lessons 1 through 4 now. Registration for both classes is limited, so I suggest you don’t put it off until the last minute to avoid disappointment. The first class filled up very quickly, and boy are my students keeping me busy! I love it!

My poor blog…it’s so neglected!

I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything to this blog for over a month. Well, my only excuse is that with a full class enrollment for Painter I, and then some (35 in all), and 1250 board posts to day, I’ve been a bit busy. Meanwhile, registration opens on September 29th for the next session and I’m still writing the Level II class. It figures doesn’t it? I finished writing the Level I class on August 1, approximately 7 weeks ago. I wrote that class in 5 1/2 weeks, obviously, I require deadlines…LOL.

Actually, it’s more a case of…it was just easier writing the first class. I’m covering more information in more detail in this class and the lessons are running much longer. If the response I’m getting in the Level I class is any indication, the students are going to love this Level II class.

Such an enthusiatic bunch! It makes me so happy to see how they’re enjoying their lessons. In week one, I had them draw and paint a pear from scratch. Well, you never heard such whining in your life…lol. You would think I had asked them to cut off a finger…and in the end, everyone tried, and some of the submissions were just wonderful, many of them coming from people who had never tried to draw anything in their entire lives.

It just goes to show you…we all have it in us to be artists. Some of us will be much better artists than others, but anyone can draw. Practice, work at it, try to see things as they are, and try to see what’s not there too…but most of all, keep on trying. You can do it. I believe in you.

As a footnote, I joined Technorati today so my blog would be linked to others. For some odd reason, I can’t get the link added to my blogroll, so I’m putting it in this post. So much to learn, so little time…lol
