Paint by Numbers. opinions?

Trebor

I have bought myself a paint by numbers kit in order to help learn to paint.

are they useful or am i wasting my time with them?

awww! thats so Cuuuuute!

sorry. im not sure how a kit will help you learn to paint. if i remember correctlywith a paint by nembers thing each colour is given a number and then you apply that number to the corresponding number on the page? im not sure if thats still the case : )

im not sure about the learning quality, but it sure is fun and easy to do! u cud get urself a learn to paint book and a cupla of paints and see what cum up with. using u imagination instead of a pre made picture. Anyway, learnign to paint has very little to do with pictures!!

gud luck and hope u have fun

private courses or need a leaving cert?

cause am going back to do the leaving and want to do art, is that a good idea as i have not done it before?

yep its a great idea, get yourself down to dunlaoirghre, u might still be able to do a summer course. they have watercolour classses, life drawing classes, portfolio courses etc etc. they have loads of beginners stuff. otherwise they do weekly classes in the autumn which are also good as far as ive heard. u can pick up a brochure thingy in the college. NCAD do courses as well, but i dont know anything about them.

Aye, im doing a portfolio course next month in NCAD, hopefully it will be good. Its too late to sign up for the current one though, however, they might run them over the next few months.
