Today, my family and I attended to a painting event. The fee included the canvas of 16×20 in (40 x 50 cm). And other tools (such as acrylic paints and brushes) were also provided.
The instructor showed us the sample drawing and told us what and how to draw, step by step. But it is totally up to us on how to choose the color and draw the picture. It was 2 hours event. We had so much fun that the time went by quickly.
After the 2 hours, it was interesting to see other attendants’ drawings. They were all unique and different. Each drawing eloquently told the creator’s personality. They are strangers to me, but I could see their personalities in their artworks.
My husband is good at details, so his artwork turned out to an outstanding one with detailed expressions and beautiful color selections. I think people want to buy it and put it on their kitchen or living room.
My daughter is full of unique idea, so her artwork turned out to be a happy and cheerful one. When people saw her artwork, they commented “oh my god, it is so pretty!” Her artwork shows hear pretty personality and makes the audience feel happy.
Finally, as for mine, I am originally a unique shaped person, so my artwork turned out to be something different than others. I started following to the instructor’s instructions, but from at the certain point, I started drawing on my own way.
I think it is good to make an opportunity to draw a picture with your loved one; your spouse, children, parents, and friends.
Creative activity is for sure healing. While you are drawing, don’t think about drawing a “good” one, but just focus on “enjoying on creating”. After an artwork is done, you can analyze your unconscious patterns in colors, lines, spacing, and such. You might enjoy new discovery about yourself.
