Thanks!


I've learned the more I draw in one sitting, the less shaky my hands get, I guess because they get used to the motions, so I often end up with garbage for the first few lines (or first many lines depending on the day) but eventually I can get to something I feel I can work with. I use very soft lines at first so I can erase easily and then go over them with more pressure once I'm happy with how they are starting to look.

I'm beginning to think that the less refined art styles like impressionism or abstract stuff is more my natural style, or at least it feels that way. Lately I've taken to painting with my hands and have found it great fun, and it feels more "arty" somehow. It started because I had a 12x12 canvas and the largest brush (from the dollar store) was only 3/4 of an inch wide and I didn't want to put up with all the time it would take to get the paint on. Much faster to just dump the stuff on my hands and start smearing. ;)

I think I might try another hand painting tomorrow. I have to make myself do art now because it just doesn't rank all that high in my priorities. I could also bring a couple small blocks to my sister's for my nephews to mess around with. Yay, washable crayola paint!

You ever try using a palette knife?

No, actually. I like textures and such, but I usually get them with just varying brush strokes or outright bashing the paper. 90% of what I do is usually watercolour, so I haven't experimented much with thicker paints. I play around with dollar store acrylic because it's cheaper and it's pretty thin compared to the professional stuff.

I really would like to get some more proper art instruction one day. I haven't had any since high school, mostly because of the cost.
