Hi Never experienced 'blogs' before! I have been studying art with OCA (on and off) for about 6+ years. I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge but at the moment I am going through a dry patch due to family commitments. I love painting in oils but also use acrylics. My passion is colour! The more vibrant the better. Love painting people but I'm not quite happy with 'live' studies so tend to use photographs. I would like to meet other oil/acrylic painters in my area (Selby) but find most societies are watercolour. Thats all for now Hazel Belt
