hy draw and paint? Because it’s good for you and everyone can do it. Drawing and painting is calming and relaxing. It can also be really exciting when it’s going well, and can give you a great sense of achievement. It’s a wonderful way to record your travels and is a source of great pleasure. You don’t need to be specially gifted, either. All you need is confidence in your ability and that only comes through practice. If you want to improve at anything you must practise. You would hardly expect to be able to play a violin without training. Drawing and painting is no different – you have to learn.
