10 September 2022 Work

I've been wanting to paint a bird, so I spent some time painting this little quail. I used acrylics, brushes and a paint knife. Slowly but surely chugging along filling the pages of my painted book.

 

Two years ago, I would have been iffy that I could have done this. Five years ago, I wouldn't have attempted it. I wonder what my work will look like a year from now... 

 

What I'm trying to say is, the more you can do the work (whatever that work may be), the more you will build your skills AND your confidence. 

 

Don't ever think that you can't do something and don't ever listen to anyone who says that you don't have the ability to draw or paint. 

 

Some Housekeeping:

 

PWYCW, Art Sparks is this Saturday (PWYCW is a pay what you can workshop!)

Registration for the Art Life Workshop is open. If you haven't checked it out in some time, here's the link.

If you ordered a copy of my first portfolio (thank you), it went out in last week's mail. I have a small handful available here. It won't be reprinted.
