So, my first day of class, I treated the painting like a project - with a deadline. I didn't relax and was just a stressed when I left as when I came. It took a few sessions for me to just get lost in the colors, the shapes, and the brushstrokes and to realize that there are no deadlines.
I was afraid to paint anything with people, anything with detail, anything "hard". I found a painting in a magazine with a sky that I thought might not be too difficult. I added a horizon and foreground from another picture. I don't know who the original artist is, unfortunately.
Here's my first picture:
