    Hi, My name is Claire Maisonneuve, and I started the beginners drawing course in April this year, and am about halfway done. I’m enjoying it very much, and learning a lot. I registered for the live class because I would like critiques on my assignments. I submitted my first assignment on April 12/22. Can I continue the course live, and use the already submitted assignments for future live lessons?

    Cad red contains brown pigment, so that’s why it produces a muted purple when mixed with cobalt. Alizarin mixed with cobalt will give a brighter, more intense purple.

    Hello, my name is Claire, and I just joined MNA this month and just finished the lesson on perspective in the basic drawing course. I would like more in-depth instruction on perspective. Is it too late for me to join this live class?

    Told you I was tech-challenged – that was a painting of my grandson. I didn’t think it would come out that big. Here is a picture of my painting table…My drawing setup is on the other side of the room.

    Hi everyone! My name is Claire, I’m 68 yrs old, and I’m so happy to have come across NMA!I always loved to draw, but was busy all my life working as a RN and raising my family, so I would squeeze in time now and then for a short art course or workshop here and there, but I longed for a structured art education. Now that I am retired and that my family is all grown up and on their own, I finally have the time to realize my life-long dream of going to art school! My favorite mediums are charcoal and oils, and I would love to learn watercolor. I want to start from the basics, and this course seems perfect for me, and so affordable.

    Unlike my grandkids, I wasn’t born with a cell phone in my hand, and so am a bit tech-challenged, and this being an online course, please bear with me if I ask some silly tech questions sometimes. Thanks Jeremy for your comment above; that was one of my questions – how do I post my assignments? Does anyone know if this is where the instructors will critique the assignments? I am posting a picture of my art room (I feel very fortunate to have a space I can dedicate to art), and a couple of my paintings. I look forward to this journey with all of you!

    Hi, Do I need to submit my assignments, and if so, how do I post them?
