I finally did it - I broke down and treated myself and joined Mindy's class. It's a year long with a new project every month. I've done January's painting so far. It is very challenging to me. the concept of the face with all the shading is way out of my comfort zone, but I am determined to stick with it. And I am loving it! I get very disappointed at times and frustrated, but when it works . . . i like it.
So here is my January piece.
