Are You Good at Painting?

I am not good at painting, unfortunately.

What about you? Do you have the painting talent?

If yes, what do you like to paint?

Maybe a portrait of someone you admire?

Or maybe a beautiful view of nature?

Or maybe a still-life painting?

Or maybe animals?

Or maybe old buildings?

Or maybe anything?

A friend of mine is very good at painting. Beautiful everyday objects always inspire her. She works best mostly alone, at strange hours. When she was a kid, drawing was one of her favorite activities. Her paintings are so unique! She was born with this natural talent. Her favorite quote is:

 “Painting is the silence of thought and the music of sight ” by Orhan Pamuk.

I should like to paint a portrait of someone I admire, but sadly I cannot paint. I mean I really am bad.

Thanks.

  1. I am always interested in seeing hand drawings, painting, comic and started drawing since children, I even graduated from design school, unfortunately I work in other fields other than being a designer or a painter… so what’s your problem my friend?

  2. I am good at sketching and . . . . . maybe painting. the last time I painted something it was semi-Gothic.

    I had sketched a sword that somehow changed into something Gothic when I did a water color version of it. but that was so long ago it as well be another life time.

  3. I started to draw early in my childhood but I am too attracted to many things so I never spent much on developing through constant work this skill. I draw when I feel like, trying to illustrate my stories or stories that inspire me. I find words closer and more at hand for me. If I were to be born these years, I would’ve learned to draw on computer and make animation. That was always my dream: make animation movies about my stories or stories I love.
