An old dog learning new tricks!

BruceBlack

Hello all, I am happy to be joining this forum and look forward to future discussions.  I am an artist and art teacher.  Now in my fifties, I earned both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in fine art painting.  However, being a product of the 80s and 90s art school ethos, I did not learn much about traditional painting through my studies.  I know many artists of my generation feel the same about their time in school.  Currently, I am devouring everything I can on traditional realism painting.  In this pursuit, I stumbled across Draw Mix Paint and have found it both inspiring and truly helpful.  Mostly, I am working in the genre of landscape, but also have a passion for still life.  I live and work in Phoenix, Arizona. 

All the best,

Bruce.

Welcome BruceBlack. I am in the Phoenix area as well. May I ask - where did you attend art school?  I attended art school in the 1980s as well. Phoenix College used to have a really good program. I have thought of attending there, now that I am retired, as an audit student.
