Do you like to paint?

I am most definately not a painter. My paintings look like a horrible rendition of Jackson Pollock... whoa... can that actually happen? Thanks for the question Zelo

I am an artist, decided to be one when I first picked up a crayon and drew what I thought fish looked like on our bathroom wall. My suggestion is don't pick up a brush, lay a canvas or big sheet of paper on the floor and start dripping paint on it, use your fingers or an old credit card to move the paint around in a way that seems pleasing to your eye. Don't judge it, play with it, have fun. Obviously it is in you, the creative wonderment or you would't be thinking about it. It is the act of creating that is way more important than the finished piece. If you find enjoyment, then you will progress. Art is such a great way to express youself. I say go for it. Some of the best art I have ever seen, were mistakes made or just playing around. Get the since of play and you will fall in love with it.

I can put lots of color on a peice of paper if that's what you call art LOL Kidding, I just muck around with my son and pretend to know how to draw and paint but really I didn't get the artistic talent in our family. My second oldest brother did and loves to paint, draw, sketch and even though he has given it up over the years I bought a big canvas painting he did of a Samoan/Cook Island (Pacific Island) legend and I was not able to bring it with me when I moved to USA :( My sister is taking care of it for me!! My Uncle is also an artist and a well known Pacific Island writer but his artwork is kinda strange to me and not sure if I understand his abstracts. My son LOVES painting, drawing, cutting up and pasting paper and stuff together. Everyday after school that is the first thing he does, draw, color in, paint or make things. I hope it develops more as he has done some nice art work in Kindergarten and I had a few things made from one of his pictures he did recently. I am glad they encourage this in his school :)

I love to paint! I have tried oils more than once but I am always put off at the long drying times. I like acrylics so much more. My husband and I both love art so we try to encourage the children in this area as well. My 20 month old daughter has been coloring and drawing since she could hold a crayon. I have many photos of her drawing pictures in her high chair for daddy when he was deployed. Our house used to be decorated with paintings that we made but they were all destroyed in Katrina. That's ok though we are making new ones.

When I was small, all my painting skills all came from my teachers in school and that were just painting skills even couting painting by number.lols. But i love painting and hadnt had much time to learn. However when I got the chance to take a course in a paper craft, my teacher was really good that I learned how to paint in the way of that craft. Its called parchement craft. We had to deal with tiny brushes and use differnt paints and colored pencils even. It was a satisfying experince to learn how to paint and for me painting is one way to relax and express myself.

I like to paint, I used to paint pictures when I was a little younger than I am now, but got out of doing it once I got married. Now I paint my house :) or I'm trying to atleast! I get confused because theres so many different colors and ways you can make rooms look different. I'm still learning!

I'm not good at paint xD

I don't know how to paint, all I can is to draw something, like an image in a magazine and copy it using a pencil. But one of my Utopian dream is seeing myself painting a beautiful sunset. Sunsets in Arizona and Caribbean perhaps. I am fascinated how painters blend the colors that made a wonderful manifestation of life in a canvass. I am also amaze on how they turn a white piece of cloth or board to a noticeable, stunning piece of art that gives happiness to everyone. I am also interested in charcoal painting- feels so sophisticated for me. =)
