WHY PAINTING?

If a person is going to paint, they will paint. Whether they are good may be relative as well as irrelevant. —stephen

PAINTING - Learning

Now that I’ve painted stuff, what’s next?

Since starting to paint again, I have tried to give each painting a number. Looks like I’m up to 109. That basically means I’ve done a lot of Bob Ross’ stuff, watched some videos on the internet about using textures, painting portraits, and understanding abstract painting, using acrylics, pouring paint, and illustrators doing watercolor. I’ve tried some of these that I liked and they turned out pretty good. However; all the while I’m trying to define myself like a lot of these artists have, and I still don’t know ‘who’ I am. Aren’t I supposed to know by now? I don’t know how it all works, but my instincts tell me I haven’t arrived since I still want to paint everything.

So, until I get to where I’m going, I’ll just keep going, keep learning from the internet videos in earnest.
