Oil Painting Classes

How important is the art school at a career in oil painting? Are teaching the art association and free classes enough?

I am learning to oil paint, and doing quite well at it. Think my work is almost good enough to sell now. I wonder, to be a very good painter, you think who needs art school? Classes are $ 600 each, and I am disabled with bipolar disorder, so do not know if I could handle the trip and having to go class regularly. Would also have many prerequisites before getting to the oil painting. Some I miss, such as composition and color theory. I think teachers could talk about some of the other as I have already graduated in mathematics from the same university and I'm sorta poor and disabled. As an alternative, there is a local arts association that offers courses for $ 150. I know that I had never taught math / geology. I also know that many of the artists are self-taught. I was gifted in math (I was doing a doctorate in geophysics prior to disability), and art seems to be the same way. I'm fooling myself without going through the same art school? Thank you!

I went to art school - Kutztown University., And although I have learned great things - the best part about taking classes art is the compassion and inspiration of their instructors and classmates! Now, the local can do so much as going to art school - trust me. While to learn new skills and have others that inspires you, local to do. In my opinion - but backed by some experience.
