28 Images Reveal The Truth About Being an ARTIST!
I am not an artist. How many of us say that? Maybe, just maybe, you’re wrong!
Let’s say you’ve never had a piano lesson in your whole life. And someone comes along and asks you to sit down at the piano and play a Mozart concerto. When you aren’t able to do it, you say, ‘Well, I’m not a musician.’
What you really mean to say is, you’re not trained as a musician. You’ve never studied piano, or learned to read music or put in the hours of practice needed to become a musician.
And the same is true of art!
How many times have you heard someone say, ‘I can’t even draw a straight line’? Guess what! Art isn’t about straight lines. And how could you expect to become an artist if you never draw, or study or practice?
They say that practice makes perfect. And it’s true. When a drawing by artist Marc Allante’s went viral everyone was amazed at his talent.
