I take too long to do a post - or to read through them :blushing:
Thank You - YESorNO
I did not quote the post but I'm referencing the longer one up thread #876
What a lovely post - you always find the best attachments/pictures/links/I'mnotsurewhatyoucallthem but they are good.
I totally understand about not thinking you're a good enough or a real artist.
But my experience was the opposite - I can take my vision and put it on paper, I can create landscapes, people, places that don't exist.
But I do that as a cop out (or so I feel) because I do not do well (or so I think) with real faces/portraits, still life etc.
So I feel that I'm not the real artist as one should be.
What helped me get over that is an art instructor from the local art league told me if you wanted your piece to look that real, take a picture.
That's what photography is for. You are creating your own version of that object (be it from a picture, still life, etc....)
Nowadays artwork can be considered practically anything - as long as the creator thinks so, then shall it be.
Bernina,
Was the laundry lint and cow poo for ceramics?
I've seen (book and film strip) the firing of ceramics done that way, and it creates a very interesting finish or markings.
Oh well, by the time I'm done with this post it will be obsolete and off topic :blushing:
