I’m pretty creative but it’s been a long time since I have brush to canvas or carbon to paper. I never have the time to invest in it lately. I have been thinking about signing up to an evening course to force me to set aside that time.
Dick doodles though, I’ve done a few masterpieces 🍭 |

I'm not particularly good, but like drawing and painting. I did fine art at A Level and then took it back up again during the lockdowns. I have so many art materials... Pencils, acrylic and watercolour paints, pastels, charcoal, canvases and sketchbooks and a really lovely easel my mum bought me for a birthday... but I haven't done any for ages 🫣
I keep saying I will go to a life drawing class but never get around to it. I did do a pottery class around Christmas time but I don't think it's for me 😅 |

I cried after a pottery class. I expected to be naturally good and I was terrible. 😅😭 |

This would be me. How do I go from zero to 'good enough for home built pottery studio in the garden' without all the crapness in the middle? |

Be Beef. He was a fucking natural. The instructor was gushing (probably both ways). Part of why I cried. I could've coped if being shit was the normal thing. 😂 |

^ This is exactly me, so many boxes of art materials. I did Art as part of an Access to Higher Ed course at college. Not great at it, but I really loved it...so relaxing 😌 and I tried life-drawing. When the tutor looked at my sketch, she said 'Ooh, the model is going to be thrilled with yours' I was crap at perspective and had given him a HUGE penis 😁 |

Oh, doubly me. Being crap is one thing. Being outdone by someone who should also be rubbish? No! 😂
But I'm not surprised about Beef. I've seen the man make bread. |

Its soooo different from drawing/painting! It's a completely different type of skill. But some of it can definitely be learned with practice. I'm sad it made you cry though ❤️ don't let one class defeat you. |

🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant!
I do believe that with art you don't need to be "good" to get something from it. It can be just a therapeutic process. And if you enjoy doing it, it doesn't need to be perfect. It's just about expression and the process, I think. |

When I was around 14 I pestered my dad to get me an airbrush. Did a lot of art for a couple of years with that.
I was on a band with a guy that was a really good sculptor. He showed me this life size figure of a wizard's head that he sculpted. I was quite blown away by it, just the texture and the detail in the beard alone was quite breathtaking.
I have a theory that people that are good at crafting a song/ music/ playing an instrument tend to be also good at art.. 👍 |
