From time to time this year I will chime in and let you know how I am doing with my "aim of the year". Aim number four for me this year is to further my own education in art. So to get started I signed up for an oil painting class. I have never painted with oils because they are expensive and I have no idea of what to do with them. On the first day of class I painted several oranges and a little pot. I am learning to mostly work with the light and see value. You can can see what I did on the first day of class below.
It's amazing that even through this experience how you can learn so much about yourself. There are some seriously talented painters in the class and I found myself not wanting to go to the class on the second day. I realized it was because I was feeling inferior and I was fearful. When I realized what I was feeling I knew I had to go because I want to try and learn new things and I was surprised and how quickly I became fearful. I know that God has not given me a spirit of fear. (2 Timothy 1:7). I am thankful that the Lord allowed me to realize truth. Besides I am meeting some neat people in the class and who knows what sort of adventure He has me on.
Giving Oil Painting a Go!
