Oh my gosh, your work turns out nice, and then you go to town on the instructor like that. I mean you go on and on and on. I merely came across it because I had googled lisa bebi's paintover technique, after admiring her work. I then end up having to read your crap. You completely trash the poor person. Seriously back off! You act like you got nothing out of the class. Seriously, the classes are too big in my estimation to get a good grip on teaching something to so many who have various levels of ability. I honestly can't believe how harsh you are, it's kind of creepy. I'll probably end up anonymous on here since I don't have a google blogger, but needed to leave a comment anyhow,

Blaiz,

Oh.My.God. Thanks so much for the color suggestions! Wish I had time to run to my local Michaels right now! (Open, open, open...)

Yep, I think you know to whom I'm referring.

I'm taking a painting class, and the teacher recommended the following Golden paints for African American skin tones:

Burnt Umber Light, Transparent Red Iron Oxide, and a touch of Titanium White. If you want to darken it for shadows, add a tiny bit of Ultramarine Blue. She also said if you need a more yellow tone, try Nickel Azo Yellow. Your pieces look great to me, but I know you weren't happy with some of the skin tones, so give that a try.

Thanks so much, Kim! I think they still need work,...

Thanks so much, Kim!

I think they still need work, but that's for another day -- I'm still decompressing. It's about all I can do to blog, I tell ya!

Wow! Exciting to hear all the goodies about your experience. You must blog at all moments so I can live vicariously! Sorry you had a bad experience. I think your pieces look awesome!

Ooh, Blaiz -- I think I remember which teacher you're talking about! Let's just say that person's other main interest seems to have swallowed the rest of her life.

And you know I'm nothing if not honest!

Lisa, I've had classes like that. I had to walk out of one class at Art Unraveled because the teacher's "teaching" style was driving me nuts. I took a break in the ladies' room, only to find fellow students in there complaining to each other about her, too. We made sure to let the organizer know. It's not that she was a newbie, she just didn't care (she as much as told us that -- she was "too busy" to write instructions before the class). We pay money for that? I threw the pieces I did in class away! Fortunately, the rest of the classes I took were fabulous.

Hey, my friend! It sucks that the class was so frustrating and I appreciate your honesty.

Miss you!!!!
