First blog

This is my first blog ever.  I have been reluctant to type blogs.  I admit I am starting this one because it is part of a community college class I am taking.   My name is Brian.  I am 53 and am attending Central Texas College in Killeen, TX.  I learned from a Statistics class here at CTC that I am a statistical outlier, way older than the average CTC student.  In fact, I am more than two deviations from the center of the bell curve.  That's how I came up with the name CTCoutlier.

I choose trying to learn watercolor portraits as the topic of this blog, as I am an Art student here at CTC, and am really interested in this topic.  I think I have some artistic ability.  I  have already taken  9 hours of drawing and design classes.  I also took 3 hours of oil painting.  I recently started watercolor painting because I could paint while in the hospital with my wife.  I purchased a Winsor and Newton half pan set that isn't much bigger than a point and shoot camera.  Winsor and Newton is a good brand, and the paint has strong saturation.  Hopes this works.
