Miniatures & Art Class at Valley Collage

During my slow periods I like to take up a new class of anything so it was during the spring of 2014 that i decided to take a Acrylic Painting class to teach my self how to paint. This was a odd class, but i learned allot. I only wanted to paint one painting and i end up painting enough to fill a museum.

Even though during the slow time i still have clients to service, During one of the first classes i had to skip a class for a clients needs, when i came into class 2 days later the teacher called out my name, and then told me she dropped me, Until I put my painting on the wall. (see above) When she took a look-she said "shit" you are good, She then had me go down to the school office to see if they could add me back into the class.

during a period of the class, one of our home-work assignment's was to make a Retablos, Painting on metal, I had asked her if i could build one in miniature of a Catholic Ratablo. This is my shortest timed Miniature ever, it was built in 6 days. the gold is 24K leafing.
