It has been a long time since I drew any portrait...I can't even remember the last time. So, there goes more time on catching up on my artistic touch. (Hmmm, I have an artistic touch???Hah! Just humour me for a bit, alright). I still have some of my old paintings and drawing and portraits...nothing great but it's passable.
There's something about sketching, drawing, painting or simply any form of ART that's really, really soothing for me. It's one of those precious moments where you just become so involved and absorbed in something, that it's like entering a totally different universe. If you are the artistically inclined, I would recommend it as a stress-release therapy. Even if you aren't, I would still recommend it. When you capture your subject under the right light...it gives you a sense of pleasure of being able to create something so, so beautiful and serene.
But to really spend time on art, there are sacrifices to be made. Honestly, I don't think shutting people out, drowning their voices or simply ignoring the bothersome creatures, a sacrifice. It's a blessing in disguise. There's nothing to spoil your mood like humans.
Although portraits are challenging, personally, I prefer scenery and object painting, though I'm just better at sketches. Why? Well, that's usually when my patience run out! Therefore, my portraits remain unpainted. Because I know, when I push myself to continue...it usually lead to destruction. More specifically, the destruction of the portrait! Sad ain't it!
God gave me loads and loads of patience. But I used it up on all the people around me...so there's not much left when I really need it for something more worthwhile and meaningful! Sigh!!!
By now, I'm sure I've described myself as an antisocial homo sapien. So there! That's just me! Anyways, here are a few pictures of Lady Di that inspires me:
