Welcome, AndyJ. This is a fantastic place to learn.
Welcome Andy, you’ll love it here, and you won’t ever want to leave…. at least that’s what I’ve found 
and the best part is that Matt teaches such a variety of different painting mediums, which I like.

Hello I have been a member for a few days, and loving every minute of it. I thought I had put some information about myself but I am still finding my way around the site, I have now set up a membership of the forum. My name is Patricia, I am retired, photography has always been my passion, but have always wanted to be able to draw and paint, a bit late in life I guess but better late than never and I cannot believe how relaxing it is, despite my churning out some amazing rubbish!! I am so impressed with the courses and the method of the teaching. Looking at your art work you are doing some amazing images. I live in the UK in the Georgian city of Bath, I have two children and four grandchildren, but all grown now. Thank you for reading Patricia
Hi - I just joined. I’m a 54 year old woman from Denmark. Can’t wait to get started on these wonderful courses! I started drawing back in November and really need help to develop my skills.

Hello
I’m a new member from Iowa. I’ve always wanted to study art but have never had the time until recently. My motto is better late than never! I’m thrilled to join this community and I’m very excited to start learning. I am exploring acrylics and watercolors but am open to all media and hope to learn more about oils and pastels. Looking forward to learning from our instructors and from you all.

Hello all! I’ve been a member on VI for a couple years now. Maybe longer…who knows!? LOL But the account is for my daughter, who is a great little artist. We homeschool and it’s her art curriculum each year and we LOVE it. She’s learned so much…I’ll start sharing her stuff soon. We’ve just joined the community today.
The only thing I can’t figure out now is how to change my profile image/avatar!? That’s such an old picture (indicative of how long I’ve been using VI!) and just wanna update it! Haha
Greetings from Missouri!
