Thank you so much for the information on the school. I'm glad that my avatar may have helped me find the information I was looking for. I am happy to see someone was able to help me with finding some answers to make the next step toward my 3-4 years of studying. It was interesting to see you mentioned the name Kamille Corry. I noticed her works online not so long time ago and was immediately captivated by them. I bookmarked her website a couple months ago, but never realized that she went to Mims Studios. Also I was always interested in studying mural painting and fresco when I went to college, but it's not something a lot of schools offer to students.

Now I'm trying to make arrangements to go and see schools for myself and the Mims Studios would be the first one to visit.

How lucky you are.

Olena,

You are embarking on a worthwhile journey.

I wish this sort of training was around when I was interested in learning the figurative arts. I spent many long years, even though I went to the Boston Museum School, teaching myself by whatever method I could glean, just how to do it.

There are no shorcuts to mastery. Learning from life with a really qualified teacher is a time honored tradition, and well worth the time and money invested.

Hi Sharon,
Thank you for your encouragement it has been a few years since I tried to teach myself step by step and little by little different painting techniques.
The biggest problem so far is finding the opportunity to work from life, unfortunately in lately it
