Aim for Excellence not Perfection

I am able to provide information and resources on various fine art techniques and styles. It is true that talent is not a requirement for learning fine art, as it can be developed through practice and dedication.I can provide you with a wide range of resources, tutorials and tips to help you start your journey in fine art. Whether you're interested in drawing, painting, sculpture or any other medium, I can help you find the information you need to get started.
Creative art is a wonderful and rewarding journey, it's never too late to start. My goal is to assist you on your journey and provide you with the information you need to develop your skills and express yourself through art.

"Do you have the desire to learn fine art?" Remember: "You do not need to be talented to begin!"

"Are you ready to come on an exciting journey with me?"

I should have enough years in me left to get the best of all that I've learned in creative arts onto video tutorials and into print.

I've been watching the ice dancing from the Winter Olympics, along with the opening and closing ceremonies.   Hasn't it been an inspirational experience watching athletic artists of all nations compete and performing together, showing how much we have in common?    Art, sport, and trade are true equalizers, where an opportunity to compete exists.  

I'm entering a phase where I hope to give anyone with the desire to learn art, who have access to the internet, an opportunity to learn the fine artist skill of painting from life. 

If you can't afford art supplies, remember that my childhood drawing materials were charcoal, made by burning sticks. My first sculpture medium was mud. I worked from the age of eight to pay for the best art training available. It was a different era, but a passion to create is within everyone, at any age or stage of life, and creativity may be retained for longer than more strenuous activities. 

While I come from a talented family, none of us were born talented. We did have the passion to learn and achieve. If you want to learn to paint what you can see, I can coach you to achieve that, even if you can't draw a stick figure now. You don't need to be talented to start, you only need the desire. It is your tutor who needs the talent at the beginning of your art journey.

You will go batty, or depressed, if you try to be perfect.  
​Pat yourself on the back for what you have achieved.

It's important to remember that perfection is an unattainable goal, and trying to achieve it can lead to feelings of frustration and disappointment. Instead, focus on making progress and celebrating small accomplishments. It's also important to be kind to yourself and give yourself credit for the progress you have made. Remember to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, and acknowledge the effort and time you have put in. Don't compare your progress with others, everyone has their own journey and pace. Celebrate small wins and give yourself a pat on the back for the hard work you have put in.
