Drawing

For years I wished I could draw and had and still have respect for those who can.I read in one of my art books that the artist believed everyone could draw from when they were little - they just stopped doing it. Also you could learn to draw better. I thought I'd give it a go with pastels and pencils and a how to book. My first efforts were atrocious but after a week I can draw basic things and understand perspective and shading. I've ordered some oils that I hope are coming today. In the meantime I have worked with gouache, water colour and acrylic. It's a great hobby and I'd recommend having a go. Just don't be too hard on yourself and relax and enjoy!
