My First Painting in 17 Years - Uluru

Yesterday I went to a painting class held by Rod Moore's Art School. It was fantastic!

I hadn't picked up a paint brush since High School (17 years ago), not to mention that I'd never used oil paints or painted on a canvas before.

Rod (an impressionist artist) showed us step-by-step how to paint our painting of Uluru (Ayers Rock). We learnt many different techniques like drawing the eye into the painting, values, depth etc. And even though we were all painting the same scene everyone's work was unique.

I think my first effort turned out pretty good.

I thoroughly enjoyed painting and I think this will be something that I will continue to do.
