The Artist in Me.

It's definitely true that I LOVE working on paintings and drawings. I want and need some classes to understand how to properly use the things I have. I'm decent with acrylics but my oil technique kinda stinks, my pastels are far worse, and I don't have the slightest clue about watercolors. Mom and dad got me a set of oils that is wonderful for Christmas along with some canvas boards and stretched canvases. I attempted to use them tonight and the product isn't perfect but isn't bad either. It's still in the works and has meaning to me. I have no idea what my type of art is, but if I had to pick I would say it's closest to surrealism. I don't really have confidence in my abilities but lately I have recieved some pretty nice compliments, first from my therapist and then from an acquaintance on facebook. It made me feel good and made the idea of someday getting to have a gallery show of my own a decent possibility. I think I just need to grow my own confidence and start feeling the part. I have decided to bring out the true me, who loves all things artistic. I even did a little nail art tonight and I am going to try a little harder with my hair on a daily basis as well. Let's see how this goes.
