Never went to art school. I am soooo lucky to be married to my wife. Apart from all her other great qualities she is a fabulous artist and when she retired some years ago I took up art and now we have a great life working together in our studio. She has taught me so much about life and art. ( She is also on Artwanted.)

Well let's begin with ...that is an interesting comment. I am now retired graphic artist/ cartoonist. Made a living after 'leaving art school' at the end of 2 years. I have to say that most of what I learned was in actual 'advertising world'. Got my first artist job as a layout artist for ads etc. Back in the 60's worked without computer technology of course until early 80's when some was available. However, I deviated from ad world to doing 'portraits and caricatures' at events. Made a better living doing that until about 2 years ago. I am now doing watercolors and acrylics and loving it, but starving. Well not really, depending on Social Security. Got to say that I developed my talent from actual work and simply experience. I believe that art school gives you the basics you need I will always remember in one of my painting classes my art teacher used to say "You have to learn to SEE"...what he meant is when we were sketching or painting a subject, whether it was a still life or a live model you had to 'keep your eye on the subject' more the on the paper or canvas.
