that "millions of things" march. :^) Most everything I'm currently doing is essentially the exercising of various techniques... I'm looking forward to the day
when I'm fluid enough with this undertaking to more fully address art for art's sake!
I can somewhat see the light at the end of the tunnel...but it's still just a dot, only lit enough to know that it's there....
Keep posting your practice as you work through this process! You have a wonderfully friendly audience with this forum that fully appreciates the
depths of such efforts!
....Art is clearly among one of the friendliest things that we humans have that's sharable! :^) |
Right there with you on the process. That's why I don't think I'll do any real paintings and drawings for a long time... I have to focus too much on actually LEARNING to do stuff. Knowing approximately what thing makes for what effect. At the point I am right now, I just throw colours around and hope for the best.
A drawing or a painting ending up good is more a chance of luck, than actual planning and vision.
Thanks for the encouragement! You're right. That's why I love art. It is very universal, and you gotta put all of you in it if you want to make it right.
