My First Oil Painting



So, today I finished my first oil painting! Yay! I am kind of suspicious of my teacher because she totally thinks it's done, but I still see SO much work to be done on it. (I'm just kidding about my teacher :) She is SO awesome and I totally see the merit at working quickly through a few paintings before getting every detail perfect. But I'm actually really proud of it and this class is great! It's really cute because most of the students are these really nice ladies that are about my mom's age or older - and then there's Alli and I - these two young girls in the mix. Alli and I are constantly smiling at each other during the class because the conversations are SO unbelievably cute! One of the ladies is English and so she has this really cute accent and one of the things she said today was quoting someone who said, "Every woman marries beneath her." They all thought that was hilarious!! It's so fun! haha!
