I am 37 years old. I tend to make friends quickly. I am a freelance artist. I enjoy doing live gesture drawings.
I just sold a huge drawing and I think it has made a big advance in my career! That is so amazing! That's a huge breakthrough. What was it a drawing of? It was a landscape of the farm where I grew up. I really put a lot of myself into it. It was so nostalgic to draw and so rewarding to see it appreciated. I wish I could see it because it sounds special. Did you sell it for a lot? Only for $150. I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but the fact that someone wanted it and was willing to pay for it make me feel validated. I'm feeling really inspired and uplifted. Selling your art is always a lot. I get it. My first painting I ever sold was for only $40. You should feel inspired! Thanks. I just want to get started on my next drawing now, but I'm having some artist block. Any ideas for some inspiration? Maybe try taking a walk around your neighborhood and look for anything that inspires you or sticks out to you. I like to go to the park at different hours to watch people for my drawings. That's a good idea. I'm not very good at drawing people, but maybe a landscape at the park will jump out at me. I'm thinking of taking a drive out to the mountains this weekend, so maybe I'll find something inspiring there. Sounds perfect to me! Are your kids going with you to the mountains? Of course! The love the woods. I figure I'll let them tire themselves out while playing while I take some photos of things I want to draw later. I hope you have a great trip!
