Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wordell Carter and I've been painting and drawing for over 45 years. In those years, I have worked at many different occupations, but I have always considered myself an artist first. As an artist, I have experimented with different mediums as well as techniques over the years. My goal here is to share with you some of the knowledge I have learned. If you learned just one new technique from my instructions, then I have achieved my objective. I have read many art books, both good and awful, but I have always learned something new from each of them. I hope I can be of some help in making you a better artist.
