ART.
It is in the eye of the beholder.
I know this is true because everything I call "ART" is not hanging in an artist gallery being admired by rich people that have nothing more to do with their money than spend it on crap I call art.
So with that said....
Here is what I would call ART.
This is a temporary tatto on my wrist.
This is from a coloring book of my daughters. She was 5 at the time.
This is some pencil drawing that I never finished.
So that is just a little sample of Art. Well, what I call ART.
Feel free to comment about any one of these items.
So any way on to the story. I started with crayons and then when my mom felt that it was safe she let me have felt tip markers. Then when I was older and in school I was always told to use a number 2 pencil. But I found that that number 2 was too hard to draw with. I went insearch of the better pencil. I found that any other pencil than a number 2 is better.
So I was drawing and drawing and never really thought that I was any good at it. Nothing looked real. I had an ipifiny. (Spelling was never easy for me)
The big bang idea that I had was that on real everyday items there is no out line. Wow my brain is now kicking in and my drawing got a lot better. But not to the real stage. I had to find out the difference between the was I was drawing and the way real things look.
That is what I did. I looked at things as they really are and started drawing only what I saw. Or more to the point I didnt draw what I didnt see. Here is an example.
Maybe not a great example but its a quick draw that I just did. 5 min. max.It shows what I'm talking about. The dark lines in the first example are not nessesary. There are accents and shading on the second mailbox. See how if you squint at the second one it almost looks real?
Well that is my tip for this blog.
Look at things like they are real and dont make any hard outlines untill you really look at what any thing is.
There is a Life lesson in there somewhere.
Stay tuned.
