Finding my right brain

Feedback from Jimmy Hu

My whole life has been in technology and engineering. I am getting into retirement, or semi-retirement. Always have dreams of being able to draw and paint. Kind of believing in traditional way to learn the basics (or selectively learn the basics) in order to obtain the knowledge and skills to that I can further explore what I can express in different forms (other than technology).Taking drawing lessons from Drawing Academy more than a year ago. Pretty slow paced since I am still working part-time. Felt good about the class and hope the Art Academy can provide the similar.

My favourite artists are Renoir, Monet and Repin. Don't know why. May be the light, the composition, or the balance between details and "impression".

Taking Drawing Academy lessons. Would like to learn the basics of painting. Long term goal is to be able to paint in impressionist kind of oil painting.
