All you need! Really!!

Think about it…  all you really need is a pencil and a bit of paper.  It’s as simple as that.  Art can happen anywhere and almost anytime.

Yeah, I know, not while holding a squirming little toddler or while trying to cook dinner.  All our plans go up in flames when we try and do that.

But what about those little moments as you’re sitting at the park, soaking up sun at the beach or sitting in the waiting room of the dentists office.  Art can happen anywhere and anytime and all it takes is a pencil and a bit of pencil.

My favorite is an average no nonsense #2, probably one we’ve picked up at the state fair, and a bit of paper or notebook I can toss down in the sand at the park when one of my kids wants a push on the swings.

The point is to be out there doing, using the skill and talent that you have and developing it further if you are able to.  So many people say they can’t draw or have no talent but a huge part of it all is practice and developing the eye to see the line and knowing how to get what you see out there down on paper.

Grab a pencil, a piece of paper out of the computer,whatever works for you and head off to that perfect spot, McDonalds playland perhaps or the park down the block.  The kids are happy and you’re free to be your artistic you.
