Oil Paintings - a Beginner's Tale

Never did I think I would pick up a paint brush in my life until an unplanned encounter in 2015.  At a monthly artist demonstration at the Llano Fine Art Guild, Carla Sanchez introduced participants to oil painting a wine bottle.  I arrived late and hadn't intended to paint, but canvas and brush were put into my hands and I immediately fell in love with the process.  I joined Carla's weekly class and practiced painting in the Chiaroscuro style painting.
