hi ,i have been painting about 4 years now and i am a member of several art clubs localy i spend all my time at the art clubs to teach and encourage the members to paint,i seem to get more enjoyment from painting demo,s for the groups than toiling away to produce a painting that may be hung in the front room for a few months,i love to see members complete a nice painting that can be framed and displayed at an exibition,i enjoy my evening classes but i somtimes doubt that tutoring and doing 30min demos cannot be good for my own painting ambitions,some professional artist say dont mix tutoring and ambitions in painting,like to hear from other tutors or other people that help in there local art group
