Artists

I'm pursuing the BFA in retirement because I've never had any formal training in photography. I've been doing everything by the seat of my pants for years. So for at least the early part of the degree work I'm pushing myself to learn formal techniques, rather than continuing to do what I've been doing. Once I've learned enough, I'll adopt some of what I've learned - and toss some.

I haven't worked with watercolors before - and haven't done any formal artwork - outside of photography since 7th grade. My photography over the years has included a lot of digital retouching (both for new photos and photo restoration). So it's a fun exploration. As near as I can tell, it works pretty similarly to actual watercolors. I've got one more week to play, then it's back to actual physical tools for the Foundations - drawing class.
