Peggy, thanks for the link to the online course. I've been looking for one of those! :-)

And if you needed to be an artist before attempting to learn Bryce, then this newbie is in a heck of a lot of trouble, LOL!!! :-D Although I do feel an overall sense of color, placement, etc., do help, I also feel that anyone with patience and a desire to learn can do well with Bryce. I know I will never be the greatest Bryce renderer there ever was, but I can at least strive to be the best I can be. The hard part for me is in being patient. I am so new at this point in time, that I constantly find myself getting frustrated beyond belief. Especially when I try to do or learn too much all at once.

Bryce does afford newbies like myself a chance to just jump in and start rendering. As you progress though, you begin to understand just how much more this appy can and does do. And if I learn more about artistic concepts as I progress - so much the better! But I don't think anyone should not try just because they didn't attend art classes. Everyone's artistic aptitude lies in different places. Just give yourself a chance....and some time, and see what happens. You might be amazed at what you can come up with! ;-)

I dare you, while there is still time, to have a magnificent obsession. --William Danforth
