So ever since I got back into painting I've been able to really appreciate and be inspired by fellow artists around me, almost more than famous ones. I think it's so amazing that everyone has their own thing that they do so well. I can't even compare in those cases. Hopefully I can develop my art the way I want it to.
i can't believe this was all done by this guy I previously dated, Jordn, who seems like a more typical actor sort of guy. reminds me of how Shawn Barron (a friend of a friend, a pro-surfer who doesn't seem like the artistic type either) does his stuff completely subconsciously. The results are beauty, unadulterated. It's becoming something I'm aspiring to achieve. Right now I'm really hesitant, indecisive and unsure of myself. It's actually really lame, as an artist. I'm learning a lot though. I learned a lot through this class, but I feel like I have sooo much more to learn. I feel like I need to take like 4-5 more painting classes. (yeesh! my lazy self does not like this)
There's also the question of mediums that's been new to me. I've always liked art, but I've never really understood the medium of painting until recently. It would have never occurred to me that it's something I would do. But it's such a beautiful and intricate medium. I think it gets me to chase after it, like film had done when I started wanting to pursue it in high school. Well, if I want to pursue art, I think painting, illustration, and graphic design can all go hand-in-hand in the end, and I don't have to labor over painting only.
Into my little artist hole I go..
