Before I tried lampworking and while I was learning, I tried any art/craft that came into my path. Here is a small sample of my painting episodes.
Oil Painting
Before I had kids. Oils dried too slowly with little ones around.

Acrylic Painting
Dries fast. Good to use when your kids are still in Grammar School.

WaterColor Painting
A fantastic medium to use if you learn from the beginning with a great teacher
like I found. These are my first three watercolors in her class. I think it
was 3 weekends in a row?
Dianne Stearns in Sonora, CA is an absolutely fantastic teacher if you want
to learn from the best. Gentle guidance, open to all types of artists, generous
with compliments, on target with gently given critiques. Can you tell I think
she is fantastic?
