I paint every once in a while. I draw sometimes, but feel as though things are out of proportion most of the time. I recently took Carla Sonheim's Silly Drawing class and it's fun to see that drawing can be fun and doesn't have to be so "right" all the time. I love guidance and ideas about painting and drawing, so I'd LOVE to win this DVD.Denny1600https://www.blogger.com/profile/10755144981213388783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401911.post-88819942232671592052011-04-29T18:29:48.929-07:002011-04-29T18:29:48.929-07:00I'd really love to win a copy of your DVD or L...I'd really love to win a copy of your DVD or Laura's book.

So, I'm not talented, but I'm taking my time to try and draw. I really need to get better at drawing from my thoughts, I find it hard to "like" what I'm doing. Juanita did a great job, but even better was her confidence growth and enjoyment! Yay for her.SewLindaAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658372209673891397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401911.post-68296152069141757452011-04-29T12:19:51.765-07:002011-04-29T12:19:51.765-07:00Having a one on one lesson with Jane would be awes...Having a one on one lesson with Jane would be awesome. thanks for the opportunity.Carolhttp://cvtamasiunas@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401911.post-79786150454691692172011-04-29T12:14:55.073-07:002011-04-29T12:14:55.073-07:00This is so cool, I definitely could use help with ...This is so cool, I definitely could use help with watercolors.<br /><br />Susan jdprkr@pacbell.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401911.post-2641995262112819972011-04-29T08:30:52.055-07:002011-04-29T08:30:52.055-07:00am just starting out in my watercolour journaling,...am just starting out in my watercolour journaling, encouraged by the two great classes I took with you online. But I am still very nervous at working in front of people and inclined to "chicken out" and take photos to draw from later...this tends to lose some of the immediacy and emotionalo response to the subject.

(don't know what to buy, don't know how to paint with it, etc.) I didn't become an artist because my parents talked me out of it. Now I am an empty nester and want to be an artist!
