I like to play with paint. This is why I have decided to become an artist and explore different artist’s lives and techniques. I want to find my own special style. I want to learn the skills to make my playing with the paint more effective. So I need to learn to draw. I have been working on noticing shadows today. It was a cloudy day today so it was not easy to notice the shadows, but I have opened my eyes to see the light and shadow of the objects around me. I painted a still life, a quick watercolor still life.
I am realizing that have a lot to learn. The other day I really needed to play with the paint, so I did and it was fun. I need to remember to go back to what I think is fun every so often so that I keep my motivation to learn more going. I like acrylic paint. It has an ease about it.
Watercolor is not easy, but I am slowly learning the techniques needed to make it more fun.
Nice post you have here. Good thing you are interested in exploring your artistic skills. I hope you'll be able to find that special painting style that will suit your personality as an artist. Thanks for sharing.
