Awesome! If chavez is your professor, you're sure to learn a lot of stuff from him. He's all about the technique.

he works with acrylic paint and showed us that we can "erase" the dry acrylic paint with rubbing alcohol I can't do that with oil, but it might come in handy for you if you didn't know.
I am already enjoying his class, yay!

or you can wash your dead brushes in rubbing alcohol and it'll come back to life! I saw peter from our anatomy class running around today o_O but happy painting!

haha you can't get rid of that dude!

ooh, that'll still be helpful because I use acrylics the most--and I can put that to use at my job at the Honolulu Academy of the Arts. XD
