RE: Ulog: Art by the non-talented
Hi! Thanks so much for the shoutout 😘
See... I think the art is in the doing... the creating... and the reaction of your audience. Your fruity face made me smile... sooo - a print in a posh frame or onto a canvas, placed in pride of place on the wall - I just wouldn't be surprised to find it in the Tate! I mean, take Tracy Emin's unmade bed... in my house, that's just one of my typically terrible housework days... but in her hands, she took the art world by storm.

It really is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it. Your portraits, animal and human, are super impressive to me.
To me too!!!! When I first saw them ... I couldn't believe it!!!! I especially love how she captures light and fine hairs!!!! How!?!?! My mind doesn't work that way... I can't see how 2d material becomes 3d!!!! Lololol
So impressive!!!
Thank you! I get this odd thing happen after drawing where all I can see is shadow and light around me. It's like my brain has switched how it sees after drawing for too long and I'm just looking at shadows and light values. Very weird! Freaked me out the first couple of times!
That actually makes a lot of sense!!!! I always have thought that artists just see the world differently.
Aren't brains amazing!?!??
Brains are bonkers and just need some training to switch gears I think x
Exactly, how is that even possible, right? Mindblowing!
Whoa!!!! Go look at @eveningart's new "how to" video!!!! It's crazy!!!! But I like.... Saw it come to life and now I want to try! Hahahahhahaa
It really is- and thank you so much. My portraits really are just a bunch of learned techniques pulled together after lots of practise! Hopefully I can share some of those techniques here to anyone who's interested in learning. E x
I refuse to believe this.lololol
REFUSE!!!!!
there is NO WAY that I can be taught how to draw like you. Hahahhahaa
There has to be some talent there already that just gets perfected lol
Maybe the way of seeing things is in-built, but the techniques can all be learned- just like people, with enough time and guidance can learn an instrument E x
Mine would end up looking like a bad, sad version of yours.lololol
But....I shall endeavor to persevere!
(Well. To make the cool thing you just showed. Then... We will have to wait for the next how to video!!)
Yay! And that's okay - remember what I said- practise, not perfection... E x
Talent is an interesting thing. I definitely think people are born with certain tendencies and some have to work much harder to learn something than others. My husband has been teaching guitar to hundreds of kids and it's very evident there too.
