I have been an Artist for 35 years.
I worked for one of Australia's leading Artist paint companies in the 1980's.
I became very close friends with the family, and of course was give huge Jars of paint.
Got some canvas....and the rest is history.
Some can just pick up a brush, and it comes naturally.
Others have to learn how to paint.
Mine came from a few months of trial, and then I found what I liked to paint.
I really can not draw that well, but love watercolors, and also acrylics.
In my younger days I did huge canvas acrylics, and won a award from a famous art critique.
Then just went on to paint little watercolors, as I got older and sold many on ebay.
