just syaing hi

ive been painting and drwaing since as long as i can remember, i have never had any lessons as such, im pretty much self taught.
hopefully i can develop new ideas and skills from like minded people.

i found the saa from the painting and drawing channel.

Hi, well done for joining the SAA.
As for being self taught, thats brilliant, as I feel those of us who are self taught are more open to try something new, and haven't been corrupted by the ideas of others that have been "classicaly" trained in order to obtain a degree in art!?
Remember Jack Vettrianno is self taught and is an amazing art
Paint well

(by the way I'll be hated for my opinion)

jack vettrianno is an absolute favorite of mine, im still learning how to paint watercolour, im getting there, just need to keep trying.

Welcome to the SAA catman, I am sure there will be plenty of inspiration and help you need here.
Great to have you with us.

Best regards,

Hi and welcome...
Being self taught is fantastic. You can be a sponge and explore and experiment with everything. If you mean you have not been to Uni, then I am also self taught. I have now been teaching for nearly 10 years. I still go to other peoples workshops and demonstrations as there is always more to learn. I love it. Sorry... I can get a bit carried away.
Terrence.... I'm not sure if you thought you would be hated for liking Jack Vetriano, or for being self taught, but neither is wrong!
