I don't think that I am... unless I can see the item in front of me and then it has to be something relatively easy. Oddly enough, if I can't see it, I can't draw it. It's as if I know what it should look like, but the image never crossed over into my long term memory.
Can you remember the last time you tried to draw?? That I can remember!! It was a staircase that I saw in a gallery years and years ago! I was thinking how awesome a painting would be of a staircase that changed direction and twisted and turned upon it's self. It didn't turn out well at all!! Maybe I should stick to flowers lol!

@hate2iron This is my only masterpiece. In case you are unsure and don’t like to ask, it’s flowers in a vase from my “high on Absinthe” phase.

Maybe I have to learn to talk on the phone... which I hate doing lol. Or, I need to find a pass time that would allow some art as I concentrate on what ever the other thing is !

@Hate2Iron I also hate to talk on the phone, but sometimes I have, just to keep in touch with family members.

@Hate2Iron I had tried my hand at music and that too was not too great.

I guess you either have to spend hours and hours practicing... or you inherit the talent!

I did some sketches in the last days. I was visiting an ancient city, Cusco, Peru, and there are many narrow streets in the city. I used for sketching a little notebook, sized 4"x3" and a line pen. You can do sketches everywhere, by sitting in a cafe or in the park, while travelling too. It´s a matter of practice. By sketching you shouldn't care of details. Most important are the proportions and light and shadow, the values. Details aren't so important.

I was given a sketch book and markers for Christmas and I feel bad if I'm not using it ;)

I can't draw, but I took an art class when I was in the 9th grade. I love it. It was the only class I had with my best friend.

Art is a journey. I've had good and bad sketches. Until now I am still learning.

The last time I painted my son's church was because they were looking for him at school. It turned out pretty well.
