Anima's Artwork

Art, like anything else that's wonderfully worth doing, is essentially the mastering of a million little things. If I had to guess I'm at around 3248 on
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.

My wife is a 4 year grad of commercial and fine arts, and some of what I do she likes a great deal, but a lot she's not sure about. I've been encouraging her to go light
on her evaluations for at least another couple of years yet. That this is more an incubation phase in this creative path that I'm on, and that time
and a general mastery of the details should eventually move the horse in front of the cart...

The early stages of artful creations are clearly the most complex... It's good for us to carve out a solid amount of time for developing technique
and for honing our eye to effective color and composition...

I'm very pleased to see that you're focused on that Anima! There is no better path toward channeling your inner-amazing!

Some good work in this thread........

I hope she visits again soon

Keep developing your work as an artist because you certainly have talent.
