One day I decided I was going to take a watercolor painting class, never painted before (well except when I was a kid) and found out I can! We can all do so many things, but who says we have to be perfect at them, or know all the rules...rules sometimes restrict our creativity. After all art is something that should fuel growth in our soul!

I have realized that there is less mystery to things. Studying photography made me realize that I m learning the rules that make a good photograph. As I watch the cooking channel, I see there are rules to cooking - one ingredient is counter for another. This drawing class is the same way - certain basic rules start you out, and make it easier and more logical. I'm telling you - these sketches are from DAY 2 (!) of the class! I am amazed!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433584313253805817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-56921430772948166802013-01-21T08:28:08.587-08:002013-01-21T08:28:08.587-08:00I hope you do!I hope you do!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433584313253805817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-85401306838809747042013-01-21T08:27:39.643-08:002013-01-21T08:27:39.643-08:00Terri - I couldn't even draw stick figures - a...Terri - I couldn't even draw stick figures - and these faces were day 2 of the course!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433584313253805817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-58430226186395636632013-01-21T08:26:51.409-08:002013-01-21T08:26:51.409-08:00I'm a big believer in positive thinking - I ju...I'm a big believer in positive thinking - I just never applied it to these areas where I was stuck.

Then I landed a job in a finance office of a college. I quickly learned that I can do math ... IF I PUT MY MIND TO IT. And pretty much that's what I hear you telling us: PUT OUR MINDS TO IT.

Stick figures, that's all I can manage. But to look at your drawings in this post, I would never think they came from someone who didn't think they could draw! So maybe there's hope! My mother is a wonderful artist and I just always thought I didn't inherit her talent. But, come to think of it, I've never really tried!
