Testimonial from a new member.

“I joined LAC seven months ago and am so pleased that I did. LAC is a pleasure to belong to, because members are, as a group, dedicated to learning and improving their art. They are understanding and supportive of each other, regardless of style differences or the medium used. Through tutorials we find out about the best materials to use and hear how others solved their problems. One good thing is we learn that making mistakes is not the end of everything! And actually there are plenty of ways to fix an error!

 I have, since joining LAC, become quite comfortable working on paper and have learnt to look and really see what I wish to focus on. Even so, I know I still have a lot to learn, and that’s OK and something to look forward to.”
