I just wanted to share this with you. If you're interested in taking a free oil painting course, Len Hend, an Australian painter, put together a bunch of his tutorial videos, and made them available on: https://www.openlearning.com/courses/painting/


He also has a YouTube channel with lots of videos of him painting (kinda like Bob Ross' show), and a website, but the ones in this course teach everything about painting, starting from the basics, listing the required utensils, colors etc.

I think he's quite talented. Do you agree?

He has a really nice style. Some of the people I went to art school with have videos but they aren't free or I'd post them.

You went to art school? Wow! That's awesome! I thought that painting was one of your hobbies. 🤓 You have to tell us more about it!

I went to the America Academy of Art in Chicago. I sat across from Jill Thompson in Illustration class:

and the first person I met while going for a scholarship trial was Scott Burdick who actually ended up winning the scholarship:

Are those people you look up to, or is there any particular reason why you mentioned them? I'm sorry. I have not heard of them.

Anyways, so what did you do after graduation? Did you work as an art teacher? 😃

They're famous :)

After graduation I worked at advertising and marketing firms until I got pregnant with my daughter and then became a stay at home mom. When she was about 3 I began doing portraiture out of my home. I worked as a substitute teacher at the local high school for 5 years and mostly in the art classes since no one else wanted to tackle that job.
