I Have No Talent
Ever thought you had no talent .... then this link is for you.

What you will find is the extended, unedited version of the text that appeared first in F2.8.

I have printed out two copies - one I am reading and one I am going to hand off to our son. I am only on page 4 but I already feel something welling up inside my soul.

Natural ability
Grant you are always coming up with words of wisdom for the forum. This article is just another example of the talent you express. The article will be used by me to help others whom are always saying "I have no talent". Everyone has a talent it is a matter of finding it and putting the effort into doing something with it.
Thank you for sharing, once again. Lynn

Grant! This is wonderful reading!!!! Thanks
If I may... there's a book for those who think they can't draw : Drawing on the right side of the brain. http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASI...406000-7119550 Basically, it helps the reader to see past his/her preconcieved judgment on things and people and how he/she sees it, rather than how they really are. You will learn to draw stuff upside down, paint your own auto portrait, etc. It's a very inexpensive book and will bring to the surface the talent lyining in you. We all have talent. But sometimes, we let our ideas block it. Ray

Thanks, Grant!
It was a very interesting read and mentions some of the things we've talked about here on the forum.
And I'll have to check out that book that Ray mentioned. When my daughter started to be able to color, I decided that I needed to be able to draw SOMETHING, and I found a book called Drawing with Children by Mona Brookes. I found it very helpful in getting started and I was so proud of what I drew in my little sketch book! Next, I have to learn how to carry a tune...

Kay, I have that book. We were at one time going through the lessons and then lost momentum! A big suggestion for drawing is when you are copying something draw it upside down! In other words have the copy of what you are drawing upside down. You mind doesn't recognise it as well and you end up drawing what you see instead of what you THINK you see! The picture example we used was an old man in a chair and a funny looking picture it was, but when we drew it upside down they all turned out perfect!! It was truly amazing.
