Some people are fastidious and are not satisfied with anything they may produce. Others wade straight in, enjoying every moment, with very good results.<br />
<br />
You need to try different styles of painting and sketching and have fun with this. Do not make a trouble of this. Experiment and see where it leads you to. You may be surprised how your art turns out, this is often a good surprise. If it all goes wrong don't curse, just see if you can rectify it somehow. You may love the final result.<br />
<br />
Really we all need to make time for any hobby. This usually is something you can do to switch off if you like from our everyday stresses and strains. We can all do with a bit of time to ourselves. In this day and age this time is often hard to find but if we can it is really beneficial. A quiet place is ideal where you forget all about the time.<br />
<br />
We all have to learn one way or another. A good way to get a confidence booster, is to join a local class where you join together with other beginners. Amongst other beginners you probably may feel more at home. It is good too, as you can discuss problems that may come up with them, both before, in and after the class time. Your teacher will probably encourage you to do this, and may even join you.<br />
<br />
From time you to time you will find yourself wandering round art galleries looking at various types of work by other artists. Usually artists probably bend towards a certain type of subject. You may see a whole collection of portraits (hard to do), or still life or coastal scenes. <br />
<br />
Personally I like to go from one thing to another, you learn as you go along. Painting is something you need to be in the mood for, although if you are stressed it can be soothing. It is gratifying when you paint from your imagination and see what transpires; but you may just stop and sketch something roughly on your travels, or even copy something that grabs you.<br />
<br />
People draw and paint with so many different things these days. The range is endless with so many varied products on the market, with a variable price bracket. Water colors, acrylics, pastels, pens, inks, crayons to name a few. People may not think to begin with oils which have a distinct advantage as if you do not like your creation, it can be reworked by removing the paint and redoing it.<br />
<br />
Summing up, as a hobby it is great. You can achieve and learn so much. With oils the only drawback is the length of time they actually take to dry and keeping them dust free. Acrylics I think are great fun. With them you can explode with colors right across the canvas, in so many ways. <br />
<br />
If you feel confident enough to give acrylics as gifts this is easy as they do not need to be framed. The paint can be applied straight from the tube with the added advantage of it drying very quickly or you may dilute it.</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br />
