Hello from a former art student who goes beginner again

[Coreyartus]

Hello, @nikolett ! Welcome to the forums! I think you find a lot of helpful and supportive folks here. It's miraculously free of a lot of the downsides that a lot of other forums suffer from. I hope you find what you're looking for here!

Regarding classes, there is a "suggested curriculum" that sorta provides a structure to how the classes all go together, but you may find some of the Phase 1 classes a bit repetitive if you've already done the art school thing. I personally just finished the materials for Creative Composition myself (you'll find a thread on here for it--you can post images of your homework if you'd like), and I've moved on to the Painting in Photoshop class. There are a LOT of really good choices--I'd suggest checking some of the intros out and maybe deciding after that. I don't think you can really go wrong, whatever you choose.

Your work is lovely! Can't wait to see what you create!!

Welcome. These are quite nice.

Welcome!! I’ve just finished the composition one as well, I’m doing colour and light next, really wishing I’d paid more attention in school the first time round.

I really like your portrait piece there’s so much emotion in it, I can’t wait to see what you’ll do next

Welcome! I love how painterly and beautiful your art is.

Thank you for the warm welcome @Coreyartus @burvantill @sarahlawrence @nyrrylcadiz @CLCanadyArts @Adrian-K @Braden-Hallett !

[myrainyweekends]

@Coreyartus Thank you for your suggestions! I will definitely put Painting in Photoshop on my list. And I agree, there are so many good courses to pick from!

[myrainyweekends]

Thank you @sarahlawrence , I think I will follow your footsteps and do the Light and Shadow and the Colour courses next!

Hi @nikolett I just wanted to reiterate what others have said -- beautiful watercolors! I have been trying to learn watercolor painting for the past year (animals and nature scenes) and would love to be able to do what you are doing. I am really looking forward to seeing more of your work on the forum.

Hi and welcome! Love the painting of the house, very nostalgic looking

[animatosoor]

Hello and welcome, @nikolett! Gorgeous watercolours.

All the best with the Creative Composition course! Feel free to ask if you need any help at all.
