I used to draw a lot more when I was younger.Then I took art as a GCSE, and the stress of completing the course got to much, every break after school evenings I was playing catch up on my portfolio. Struggling with undiagnosed dyslexia at the time, I struggled on the writing side of things, and couldn't pull together all the explanations and written work, I also was slower at my work as a whole, and I became very discouraged, I was told my final pieces were an A grade, but I wasn't going to get that due to the written work, I stopped doing art after I left school, I keep coming back to the idea of art and I have brought probably too many supplies, I have struggled with a sense of negative feeling every time I have tried to do art again, I tried starting up again over a year ago and was starting to slowly try to break thro, unfortunately my personal life fell apart I couldn't get my head in it again, I saw a course advertised from here in hope it can help my find my way back into this area its been 12 years since I was able to really get into
