[QUOTE="Star*, post: 273012, member: 4964"] I think it's odd - I had an art teacher in high school that was VERY self-absorbed. She had one dark and moody boy in our class and he got to paint whatever he wanted to. THe rest of us had to draw/paint what she TOLD us to. His name was Edward - Edward could have taken a dump on her desk and she would have made an artsy calligraphy written tag for it, named it and called it art. So the rest of us despite having some skills - NEVER got attention. We had the same teacher in middle school -so glad to go to HS and then the art teacher at the hs retired so we got Artilla the Hun again. We had to do a self-portrait and I remember her picking up my canvas and saying THIS IS WHAT NOT TO DO - I hated her. And MY Father was an artist. lol I can draw, I can paint on walls - I love to do colored pencils and chalk or charcoal. I can't for the LIFE of me paint on canvas. I've tried. I recently tried to paint a bull Mastiff for the ASPCA here to auction and well - it looks like EMOart....if the dog was any more sad they'd prescribe puppy uppers. But - ask me to paint the same dog on a wall? Beautiful. Maybe if it's going badly with your otter you can call it - dead otter on a log - and win first prize. I saw your pencil work and you have mad skillzzzz. Don't let working in this medium stop you. I saw my art teacher years later. She was still the same miserable person she was years before. I chalked it up to some people are at their most creative when they are depressed and miserable - maybe she figured that out and just got stuck on sad. DUnno - don't care. Hugs Keep drawing! [/QUOTE]
