First Painting Class!

Whoo! What a rush. I just spent the last 3 hours creating the worst picture in my painting class. But it was still fun, though I don't know anything. Every month you pay 32 bucks at a local paint store and you get a 3-6 hour course on how to paint a single painting. This was the first one for me and it was a pot with poppies in watercolor. I can't believe how bad mine came out. I finally did one really good leaf and one really good petal near the end of the class so I did at least learn something. Of course, the instructors version of the painting had drops of dew and little bits of dead leaf and so on to make it really realistic. But then again, he's the teacher. I would expect him to know it.

I'm not going to show you guys the picture for 2 reasons. It sucks and my scanner is currently not co-operating with me. And I don't want anyone saying something like "I'm sure it's a very fine picture" or something because believe me, it isn't. It barely looks like flowers. And considering I took 3 years of art in high school (I had an art class every day of high school) including one advanced painting course, I should know how to do it already. But my art teacher and I were pretty close that when she assigned the class to paint a picture of their hand, I drew a picture of a talking pair of boots and then sprinkled glitter on it and handed that in. I got an 80 on it. :D. I usually took drawing courses anyway. Despite the crap I post on here, I can actually draw a decent picture.

I very rarely did paintings and when I did they were just as bad but my teacher loved the modern stuff and thought it was neat. Hahaha. Anyway! I've boughten all the colors used in today's class and I'm going to paint these poppies over and over until they are perfect. Then you can see it.
