Art is like anything else! It can be learned by anyone! It just takes time a work like learning anything else. The hardest part is just how personal it is...how feeling like you failed a piece can damage your self worth. Remember that it’s all practice and every failure isn’t that deep, it’s just leading to a better piece in the future. Our failed projects are every bit as important to our learning as our successful ones if not more.
I've been reading this for a long time now. I wasn't really into paintings and never actually tried it. What I like about this is the flow of the story. All of the ups in downs. The struggle and the passion. I just love all of it.
But last month I actually tried painting. Self taught and youtube. I'm lucky cuz my grandma and sister have tools. All I did was get interested and I made paintings. At first it's all crap but now that I've been doing it for months it's still crap but I get complements that I'm improving. I already filled my first sketch book and acrylic pad. I use acrylic. For now I'm only making landscapes and scenery. I dont know how to start with portraits. I think I need a teacher for that.
