To those writing beginning art books and to those seeking beginning watercolor or drawing books
Hi Friends, I have a confession.... I am creating art (in the form of Silk Painting), but haven't had much in the way of any formal training. I've been informed that I am considered to be a " primitive artist " (although that term apparently isn't used much anymore because it implies poorer quality art)! My last official class in art was well-over 30+ years ago (and I'm not sure what I took for middle-school art qualifies as a true art class!). I was brought up to believe that art wasn't overly important and DEFINITELY NOT a proper goal for education and employment, and instead was STRONGLY encouraged to pursue science-based education. I spent the majority of my adult life dabbling in art (& crafts) and at times I have been pretty successful, but most of the time... the process of creating art has been incredibly frustrating because I could see that SOMETHING was wrong but I couldn't figure out why. This looks a lot like wha...
