Perspective

Matisse

Perspective is one of those good/evil things. It's always good when it's your own...unless it art. I've been going out of order on the EDM drawing list, but number 5 on the list - egad! Argh! BAAH!!! BAAH!!! It reads "draw your bed." Thus, the agony begins.

Pam did an incredibly awesome look-a-like job on my bedroom designed from a Southern Living magazine. I'm not a frou-frou person; my mother taught me the "less is more" guide to fashion/style as I was growing up, so clean simple classic lines is where you'll find me on most aspects of life. My bed is very effortless . Pam built a lush yet simple headboard for our king-sized bed, covered with a natural colored linen fabric. There are only two large pillows that are on the bed, along with a coverlet & simple straight bedskirt. And yet, I cannot draw the danged thing!!! My art perspective stinks.

During my very first art class we had to draw the art center hall. That meant LOTS of perspective, horizon lines, vanishing points, etc. I struggled with it then and continue to today.

Great artists (who have proven themselves) would paint pictures that my art instructors would have rolled their eyes at had I done it. So, I'll continue on, struggling to get the correct artistic perspective...and then go on to paint really bad stuff that I like.
