But gaining some realization of whether you like the medium or not or giving yourself enough time to gain competency in it, is the challenge.<br /><br />We all use various media but find ourselves eventually returning to our comfort zone and that which suits us best.<br /><br />Jumping around and using different things is good Rhonda. Eventually you find your niche, but even then its still good to tinker with other mediums and try new experiments. Its how we all learn.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-81269952489840858292010-01-13T10:32:00.434-03:302010-01-13T10:32:00.434-03:30I, too, am guilty of jumping around, especially in...I, too, am guilty of jumping around, especially in the first few years of painting - I wanted to try everything. Now I see that learning the basics and attaining some stable quality is more important...but I still need to break out once in a while to energize myself. I imagine it can be hard for a teacher to be tough enough but not too hard to stifle the creativity of a new student.RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-43616187954969305942010-01-13T09:44:27.288-03:302010-01-13T09:44:27.288-03:30Gotta quit hitting the send button so quickly!
...Gotta quit hitting the send button so quickly! <br /><br />I also wanted to compliment you on the shells painting - you have that enviable knack for capturing the essence of the subject with just a seemingly few strokes & having it still look great.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224954501156534934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-53454463185016441742010-01-13T09:40:17.835-03:302010-01-13T09:40:17.835-03:30Jeanette said: "The practice of art - or art...Jeanette said: "The practice of art - or art done well to be more precise - is not served up, double sized in 3 minutes."<br /><br />Well, darn! I think MacDonald's has spoiled us!<br /><br />But I happen to agree - it takes a big enough interest & desire to continue to do what is necessary until you get it right. <br /><br />But is jumping around exploring different media necessarily wrong? I know I get extremely bored using only one medium for an extended period of time. With some new media I'm willing to put in the time and effort to attempt to master (& some are an ever on-going challenge like watercolor!) but some are just done to break out of the comfortable little box I've built. Sometimes I'm surprised that I like the new medium and will continue with it and some are related to "play-time" only.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224954501156534934noreply@blogger.com
