paint and draw more

I’m now painting or drawing almost everyday. And I’m only warming up :)

Keep an eye on my blog www.ecojunkiart.blogspot.com

This afternoon I went to the beach and took my new cheap quality paints and paintbrushes with me, (I’m in st martin now, I was lucky to find anything) determined to put paint to paper.
I did it! I painted a pretty good little seascape. My buddies were surprised I actually made a nice picture. It’s the best I could do. It required a lot of concentration and my back and legs hurt from sitting in an awkward position for so long. But it was worth it.

3 sketchbooks to fill, 2 canvases to spread color and no paintbrush. haha.

i vow myself to sketch or paint at least 2-3 times a week (mostly sketch since my gift is more prosperous in that area) and hopefully i will gain all the techniques of becoming an artist.

I used to draw a lot when I was younger, I mostly did landscapes or portraits. but somehow since I left home and go to university, I started to neglect my interest in arts. there was just no time and space for it. now when I pic up a crayon my hands start to shake and I can’t keep up with my old drawning skills. I really love drawning and I’d like rediscover my abilities and start again. I’m facinated about how you can transform your feelings onto a piece of paper

I have set up and area to paint and draw and this works for me. Recently having my own place helps too, no roommate to distract or annoy your creative processes.

I would like to think I’m trying to do this more, but I have really been spending my time on things that don’t really matter to me much, but matter to others, which is why I do them…
Anyway, its high time I started doing what I want and not what I think others want me to do

I’ve been trying, and making time for this makes me feel a little better when I feel like shite. Like a little breathing space, as long as you’re drawing from life and have to concentrate :)

This has been a goal of mine since I left high school, so far… I have done about 18 drawings and 1 painting, all in the course of one and a half years. It doesn’t seem enough, I’ve felt like I’ve slacked on this goal. feels lazy

I know I can do it well. Have done it since a small child. I don’t want to forsake this gift, but I’ll do anything but get down to it … even sign-up here to post stuff. Gawd I hate tortured artistic whiners like me ;)

surely it was worth doing it!i have been taking painting courses for almost three years. it is for fun actually i don’t want to be an artist or something
