You Can Draw and Yes You Can Paint Is it a myth? That statement - You have to be born with artist talent . Is it true? Am I forever banned from the beginning of first light never to express love with a pencil or oil paint? Everyone who has a desire to learn art can learn art. People have become doctors, lawyers and a list of other things by learning how to! One of the things necessary is to see as an artist sees. For instance a video or book can be made on how to draw a hand, foot or other part of a body where the artist draws the art subject from scratch to finish. But how does one see the shapes, tones, lines and structure that enables an artist to draw it? | ||

Art Lesson - Single Rose We start with an image of a single rose and overlay a grid pattern on top of it. We begin drawing the rose in little segments along learning about negative space. As we progress through the art lesson we learn to see differently so as learn how to see as an artist sees. In each drawing step we build on what we learn and then sharpen our skills and artist techniques with each new art lesson. When the drawing steps are completed, we use what we have learned and begin doing an oil painting using the same reference drawing grid patterns. First, we're starting the graphite drawing version with setting up the grid drawing pattern on the drawing board to begin drawing the rose outline image. |

Artist Grid Drawing Patterns
A fun and easy way to learn to draw is to use grid patterns. Many well known artist in the past have used grids for their own art works. Grid drawing patterns can help you to improve your artist drawing skills to see as an artist sees. Then advance in art by adding more realism to your art works with other artist techniques. Once you've become comfortable at your drawing skills you can then learn how to transfer your gridded images and then complete an art work of that image of that image in graphite pencils, colored pencils, watercolor or artist oil paints. |

Vigil of Caesar's Head |
|
![]() |
Caesar's Head State Park is located next to the Blue Ridge Mountains in upper Greenville County of South Carolina. An oil painting of a natural landmark. This is an oil painting of this natural landmark with panoramic views. The focus of the oil painting is to capture the sense of distance out into the horizon. Imagine standing in the same spot of this natural landmark and sensing the air moving around you. Viewing the light shining over the valley. See the awesome rock formation created from times gone by before man walked the earth. It is quite impressive and I hope the painting conveys these feelings when it is looked upon. |
Sunflower |

In this art instruction portion we take a sunflower image and overlay a grid pattern onto it. Then we transfer the grid pattern image to an artist canvas. From there we do an oil painting with artistic oil paints. The result is a scenic oil painting with a sunlit sky in the background, hills in the distance and a river in the valley. |

An artist draws or paints what moves them from feelings generated from within the deep portions of themselves. In life outer surroundings effect the artist mind and this travels down into the heart to the seat of motivation. At times a strong motivating thought resides, moves and stays with a visual artist until a composition is completed to satisfaction. When this happens there is a need to release that motivation not with words but with artist oil paints. This is a painting of one of those motivating drives to draw and paint. The end result of this painting is questionable. It depends on the people that will view this painting for years to come. Will these people interpret or sense the message being illustrated so that when they come upon a situation that they are involuntary reminded to act and do so? |
