Watch Out Bob Ross

I am taking an oil painting class on Wednesday nights. Last Wednesday was my first class. The teacher is awesome...seriously, picture Mr. Miagy from Karate Kid with a Brazilian accent. (He is Japanese but born and raised in Brazil).

Here's a secret...I am a horrible drawer. I know I have no business signing up for oil painting. BUT...after the first class I think I may have some untapped artistic genius.

This is the tree I drew. It may not look like much, but it is 1,000% better than any other tree I have drawn. Antonio (my teacher) said it was great and was very pleased. So, if each class I get even 50% better, I may be the next Da Vinci...or at least as good as Bob Ross.

Sorry friends, no pre-ordering paintings. You will just have to wait a couple of years until I have enough to sell...and then see them at a gallery (aka my house).

Awesome. You should come draw for my students. They would consider you an artistic genius. And you truly are.:)

Ha, ha! I have a degree in Painting and Drawing, and after painting today, I still think to myself once in a while that I have not business painting and drawing.
