Art
for some talented people is a natural born gift. Let's face it some artists
with no training are fantastic.Others draw and paint and think nothing will be
good enough, perfectionists one could say. It could be that you do not need any
encouragement to actually get enthused. If you are enthusiastic you probably
will go from strength to strength.
From time you to time you will find yourself wandering round art
galleries looking at various types of work by other artists. Usually artists
probably bend towards a certain type of subject. You may see a whole collection
of portraits (hard to do), or still life or coastal scenes.Personally I like to
go from one thing to another, you learn as you go along. Painting is something
you need to be in the mood for, although if you are stressed it can be
soothing. It is gratifying when you paint from your imagination and see what
transpires; but you may just stop and sketch something roughly on your travels,
or even copy something that grabs you.
Surprisingly
it is quite good to start with oils. In some ways this is easier to handle. If
you do not find your painting satisfactory, paint over it and start all over
again. Or simply scrape the paint off.
There
are so many art products available in different price ranges to encourage you.
Ranging from wonderful pencils, crayons, pens, inks, water colors, to pastels
and acrylics.I find nature as scenic beauty and beaches,waterfalls as themes
that inspires me to paint and sketch which is a soothing experience. Actually
you get so engrossed in it - you lose all track of time. Generally you can
appreciate the tranquility that surrounds you. If you are a working person
sometimes it is hard to set aside the time for this. However there are benefits
as you will come to the conclusion that this can be your peace time. We all
need time to ourselves at some point.
