Creativity Dulls.

I have written in a while. I have a busy life, a hectic one in fact. Recently i have started being arty again, i am in need of some new art supplies (excited). Not a typical girl, i get more excited going shopping for art supplies than i do with  clothes. I enjoy more conversations about cars than i do bitching about wanna be celebs. Anyway, this blog may not appeal to the vast majority of you, but it is something i enjoy. It is just a post to let you read until my main one is ready to be uploaded. 

Creativity, in more ways than one it becomes a trait we loose with age. We do not imagine, we do not express ourselves. instead we do not lead a herd, we follow.
Art, it is one subject i love, i really do. There is no right or wrong. just you and time. I have learnt what ones definition of beauty is another's definition of hatred. I am an artist, or so i would like to think so. i enjoy art, i do it. So therefore i am an artist.  i may not be good at textiles, make-up, organising outfits, but i can draw , i can paint, sketch. Imagine. Everyone can.
It helps me de-stress and unwind. it allows me to be me. I look at thing differently, i look at shades not blocked COLOURS . I tend to always go that extra mile, if you look at my university notes, around the borders you will see little comic or animals stories. I draw explanation rather than write huge amount of words that does not make sense to me.
In my previous blog 'Dyslexia' , i found that nearly  eighty percent of people who choose the creative subjects are more likely to be dyslexia. There is no current explanation. But it does make sense. Your not relying on order or fixed rules. In art you make the rules as you go along, and if one day you decide to jump high, no one gives a damn.
So get a piece of paper, and draw. If you do not like it, do not bin it. Keep going, you will be suprised. Being an art student i never listened to my teachers advice (shocker). If she did not like it, tough, it was my work not hers. If i did not like it, tough, i stick it down and write a description on how to improve and what i did not like about the drawing.
Here is just a few things i have done over the couple of months.
At first i started of with paper, , watercolours, colouring pencils.                                                      

Then i experimented with oil pastels, and oil paints:)

Now i love using acrylic paint, and doing wall murals.

 This was my first attempt, i got sick of seeing just plain boring one colour painted rooms. So i sketched out the pandas on a scrap piece of paper. and i decided to paint it. It only took me ninety minutes. :)








This was my room, my second attempt of wall murals. And in all fairness i nearly packed my bags and moved. it took so long with the tiny branches and constant shading. acrylic paints dries so fast, your constantly against the clock.

 we have moved recently, so i had a blank canvas (wall). With mine and sienna obsession with bambi. I already had a new design i wanted to try out. I loved doing this art piece. it allowed me to research new techniques on shading and paint brushes.:)









I may not have the time, to do the amount of art i want. And i definitely do not have the time to experiment as much. Not even sketching. Being a parent , it allows me to heighten sienna abilities. I keep her mind open to every activity i can provide. Me being arty, i love getting the arts and craft out. Most parent cuss, because it is a messy job, and most children love painting anything but the paper. but you must remember it greats bonding time, everything does wash and it is easy to clean!
So enjoy. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, but once should be enough if you live it the right way.
