Art

[TyphooToffee]

As I've taken up painting and drawing, and am getting to grips with terms like en plein air, scumbling, gesso and other previously unheard of names and terms, I was wondering if anyone else would like to talk about their own adventures in what is a fascinating subject.?

I don't want to talk about it but I do like the occasional walk around a gallery.
I appreciate anyone who can paint especially.
I was quite good at it in school but have never really bothered since

I have no artistic skills what so ever,I struggle to draw breathe at times,though I do like a bit of culture,I have attended ballet,opera and theatre and when visiting different countries/cities I do try to visit somewhere interesting

Gold Star Sir, stirling work!

Still can't believe Rolf Harris is a nonce.

Spoiled art that has.

I suppose when you already know how to do something then it's not necessarily something that you persue. I haven't got the imagination to draw from the mind, but I can from a Photograph. My wife enrolled me in a local art class because she rightly said I was buying pencils, paint and brushes before learning how to do it.

Whenever my brother calls me Rolf Harris I remind him of that. I tell him I'd sooner he called me Picasso because he was always putting eyes in the wrong place too

One of my uncles could copy any picture to perfection but couldnt "freestyle" draw or paint,which I always found rather odd

I don't find it odd because I'm the same. I need a reference. But if it's a portrait I can only do it in graphite because it's just light and shade, so I don't need to worry about the right hair colour or skin tone. There are probably far more people like it than you might expect.

I guess there is,I just couldnt figure out how for example he could do that with a photo of his son,to the point it was a carbon copy,yet if his son sat in front of him he couldnt do the same,it just seemed strange as it was the same image really,so is there a particular type of art you are looking to do,portrait, landscape,abstract?

Someone, for the love of god, find 'horse'

Love Art me, not when it's given pretentious interpretations by 'critics' though, I prefer to find my own likes and see things my way.
I love Hieronymous Bosch, Gustav Dore and H R Giger but can appreciate 'technique' in portraits and landscapes etc.
Not something I've really delved into but would never dismiss it.
