Painting Is Not A Leisure Activity It Is Art.
‘Painting is not a leisure activity, so it’s not a waste of time!’. That’s what most people used to think, but these days they have become more engaged and see it differently, as the money attached to paintings keep growing.
The internet has made it possible for artists to sell their paintings at good prices, and have cost free shows and exhibitions online that draws an audience.
This trend is encouraging and people are beginning to recognize the power of paintings and the narratives they convey. Leisure? not any more!.
When I started meddling with paint, I was maybe 11 or so, but I still remember the joy of discovering new hues and I still find that exciting till this day. I can’t imagine my life without paint or color It just would be so very dull!
Unfortunately, some people have not tried to discover yet the joy of drawing and painting, or any other form of art. If you belong to those who believe that it is a waste of time, just think of so many things that are a real waste of time, but not this one.
Being creative releases a part of your soul , you feel free, you feel you can do everything, because imagination can do everything.
You are a different person and if you have problems to solve, then this is the best way to do it. Let yourself be creative, release your energy on art and you will feel calm and confident to go on.
There is no wonder why some people use Art Therapy. They’ve found out the terrific advantages of this method on people’s feelings and behavior.
And beware. You don’t need to be an artist!
“I can’t draw a straight line,’ most people would say. ‘So, what?’ Practice makes perfect! That old saying applies so well in this case.
You can discover your hidden talent and become an excellent artist , or you can simply enjoy yourself in a creative way! However, it doesn’t really matter how good or bad your creation might be, it is yourself you are displaying in it, not your professional abilities.
So, take the first step. Get a piece of paper and start now.
And don’t forget to enjoy it!
Thank you
