Though I've had full formal art training, I would guess that formal training would only contribute 20 to 30% to the artist I am now. As an artist grows and expands, their growth comes from observance, scrutinizing, problem solving, inventing, but most of all... just working at it! There's no better teacher than hands-on experience. Time spent getting your hands tarnished by whatever material you use is the classroom that really counts.
If it's not possible for you to get formal art training, no need to sulk... just self-educate and ask questions, read, study, and when you have a good idea of what you're doing... get out there and actually do it!
