I have never tried do a painting or drawing so I am so dumber:). Wish had a talent like you so I can paint and draw:(

Dumb people draw best

I envy you. To some this comes purely naturally, they are the true artists, that cannot be taught. I paint but never like this, I wish to God I could, I would never stop painting if I did. I do believe that art comes from the soul, it cannot be taught, it can not be forced, I see that alot of people get lessons, yet there is always something missing from there work, it is a thing called feeling, you my dear sir have that thing in abundance. Thanks for the video.

@angie4josh hey in Thailand they have elephants that paint beautiful paintings of flowers. It is an acquired skill, you just need to want to do it and do it till you master it.

beautiful painting

Please reference to a brush that you use to make the leaves

[speedpaintingdvds]

@alien123alien1 This is a 1 inch house painting brush. On the smaller leaves I use a round hog bristle brush, a big one, about 1/2 inch round at the collar.

@angie4josh You just need to find a subject/style/medium that means something to you, something that gives you that feeling. I believe that all people who are drawn to art are gifted, but a lot try to force themselves to be like everyone else and never find the style/subject/medium that their inner artist craves.

I also believe that no one realises their own talent, even when it's pointed out to them over and over again. LOL

[Cassiepeia]

Wonderful! I'll give this a go.

[Tomsouthrock]
