And yes, many were 'corrected' in school in the 50s and 60s and later instead of letting nature be natural.<br /><br />Great story about Annie Celeste. Yes you can train yourself to use the left hand and practice makes perfect as she shows! My mentor in the UK many years ago, Tom Greenshields, had a farming accident involving his right hand and learned to draw and paint and sculpt with his left. It can be done!Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-21715476747027620232013-03-15T12:23:22.855-02:302013-03-15T12:23:22.855-02:30Jeanette! what a good drawing and your post gives ...Jeanette! what a good drawing and your post gives me a perfect "excuse" to brag about my friend Annie Salness...She is an artist who had a stroke a couple of years ago (she was right handed)...she now paints and draws with her left and it blows us all away that she can do that! http://www.oregonlive.com/north-of-26/index.ssf/2012/10/cedar_mill_artist_annie_salnes.html<br />I'm very right handed. Even if I put my fork in my left hand.....it feels "weird"!Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-85613863457920349622013-03-15T09:48:37.266-02:302013-03-15T09:48:37.266-02:30Beautiful drawing!

And interesting info about lefties - Sweetie is a lefty and I was born a lefty but trained out of it before I got to school (back then, they didn't want you being a lefty if you could change it early). I wonder how many people born in the 50's and 60's were "corrected" to the right, rather than allowed to be left-handed?RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-19057666483662275972013-03-15T09:18:38.797-02:302013-03-15T09:18:38.797-02:30Jeanne I think that lefthandedness was hidden and ...Jeanne I think that lefthandedness was hidden and suppressed in children in school, at least in my days in school, but now its accepted as the norm. This is likely why you are more aware of it.<br /><br />The adaptation around lefthandedness is a challenge I'm sure and interesting to note dominant sides affected.<br /><br />The hand isn't in water, just a crack in the double sheet in the sketchbook, but I think it looks like its in water too. :)<br /><br />Vandy, I didn't draw this with my left hand, I had taken some shots of my right hand to use for a future project and this is one of them. I'd be hopeless drawing with my left hand!<br /><br />And yes I'm sure you can train your non dominant hand to improve in finer motor skills, but as you say, it would take time.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-7503911925594362132013-03-15T09:03:53.627-02:302013-03-15T09:03:53.627-02:30Very interesting post, and an impressive left-hand...Very interesting post, and an impressive left-handed drawing! I can't even write a simple sentence with my left hand. <br /><br />I'm sure you can improve the ability to do things with your non-dominant hand, but that would take consistent effortVandyhttp://vandymassey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-34462945345633320652013-03-15T08:35:58.372-02:302013-03-15T08:35:58.372-02:30I'm a lefty, and I'm always fascinated to ...I'm a lefty, and I'm always fascinated to read what that is supposed to say about me. However, most left handers are also left eye dominant, and I am right eye dominant. A real weirdo all the way around. That explains alot, actually...<br />Thanks for posting this interesting stuff and WOW, thats an awesome drawing! I love the creativeness of the hand in the water and the way you rendered it so beautifully with such excellent composition and technique!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600673251180423439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-44730116498091748362013-03-15T03:24:00.020-02:302013-03-15T03:24:00.020-02:30Right-handed.
