Thinking to get into art? It's never to late to start.

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.  Art is knowing which ones to keep."  ~Scott Adams


This is one of my favourite quotes that I apply to my  visual artworks. Creativity kicks in anytime, that why we make mistakes and trials too. Art finds the techniques and styles you find and must keep. 


Every artists' either you are a student or full time or as a hobby visual artist, every artist have their own styles to apply to their work. Experimenting is a great way to find your own style and techniques. So if you wish you start drawing or painting, I recommend you to start drawing with HB or 2B pencils on your Visual Diary and start practicing. 


Then if your confident with your pencil drawings, then start with Acrylic paint. For starters, I brought 5 colours pack of Acrylic beginner paint Kit from a local art& crafts shop. For me, I started with Acrylic paint. At the momment I'm working with acrylics. But working trials with watercolour paint. But everyone is different for choosing their own media. 


Or you can draw and paint straight away if you wish. Experimenting with drawing & painting techniques and styles, you will find your own styles & techniques. It will take a while or a short time to find your styles & techniques. Every one is individual and have their own pace of learning. But keep drawing & painting. Every artwork counts!


As I said late last year, ‎"Every visual artists starts as an amateur. Though experimenting with media and though trials & errors, the artist finds their own type of techniques & strategies towards their own style of art and the artist push themselves to achieve better results. The outcome is incredible."- Mena Zarif


Good Luck
