What do I mean? Here are three attempts at the samebeautiful bunch of flowers sitting on my table
at the schoolhouse. People who draw and paint
actually get addicted to a certain medium. That
makes sense. You buy paint and it costs a lot,
so you stick with that paint, acrylic, oil, watercolour.
But what you are is an artist. If someone asks you what
kind of artist you are, you don't need a long
explanation. People are tweeting their whole
lives in 140 characters. So I paint and draw will
do, or I sculpt.

In this case I wanted to draw because we areheading out and there isn't time to paint. And
it doesn't matter which medium I use, or you
use, the main thing is to give it a go.
