That has to be some of the best advice I've heard all year.
Yeah, I agree. Digital isn't as valauble.. but right now, I don't have the $$$ to spend on the painting equip (Mind you, I LOVE painting... I'd do painting all day long if I had the money to spend on it.)
And if my Hubby wouldn't mind sacrificing eh.. the entire apartment to my mishaps ;)
And I agree with you about the color... Color is the most attractive thing there is in a painting and I've seen wonderful art ruined by shoddy coloring (I've done that myself too ... ruined good art with shoddy coloring.)
I'm in the no schooling bit.. I don't completely suck, but pretty close (And I fit the shy category.).
I just know way too many artists a lot better than myself (Stephanie Law, for one.) and well... bleh. My confidence hit the drain
