RE: How I Taught Myself to Draw - Are Artists Born Gifted?
It is true, one can learn to draw without training, but it is extremely helpful to have a good art teacher. I met mine when I was only 19 and remained his friend and student until his death a few years ago. He really understood my work and knew what I was aiming at and how to make my paintings better. Of course we had a few disagreements over that long period of time, but his eye and advice were invaluable. I suppose I would have managed anyway, but what a help to have someone with a great eye and technique to show me the way.
I just check out your artwork. It’s amazing. You have a very good teacher. Sad that he passed away. Keep keep doing what you’re doing and stay happy :)
Thank you @vaansteam for taking a look at my work. My teacher died in his 80's so he lived a good long life. I have taught his technique to a few young painters in the U.S.
