Drawing as a means of self-expression, self-improvement of personality Automatic translate

What is painting? Different people will answer this question in different ways. Someone believes that drawing is a skill and technique developed over the years of long and hard work, someone will answer that this is an expression of a person’s soul on paper, its outpouring, emotions; someone argues that a real picture is obtained only by combining one and the other. With the last statement, I agree. In part. Indeed, sometimes a person who is spiritually rich, interesting from the inside, even if extremely clumsy with a brush or a pencil, will draw something interesting hundreds of times better than a master without a soul and with a dull grayness of honed straight lines. And he will also draw interestingly something like someone who owns skill and a rich inner world at the same time.

Character. This is the main thing in the picture. The character of the picture largely reflects the character of the artist. Bright colors, extraordinary color combinations, line thickness, unusual, unexpected, independent!.. - all this allows a person to express himself.

How often do we notice a certain feeling of even envy, at the same time an irreversible craving for a person, when we see his unusually interesting drawing, realizing that we ourselves cannot do it as well? And we ask this person: How do you do this? And the man answers, they say, I don’t know how to do this, I only know that if I want, I can. And you can. Everyone can.

Learn to draw? Yes, this is insanely interesting. It is insanely pleasant to see your first, at least somehow, with the help of others, in a huge amount of time, but still a well-constructed drawing. And it’s no less pleasant to see the result of his long work — the correct construction of the drawing, the play of chiaroscuro, colors, composition… But this is exactly what we call skill. Nobody will develop your individuality and originality, either in courses or in art educational institutions. It remains only on your conscience. And no doubt, anyone can learn to draw, they teach to draw not only children, there are courses for learning to draw adults from scratch .

There are bright personalities pouring paints on paper, as if from the depths of the soul! You can watch their works for hours, plunging into the extraordinary world of aesthetics and beauty. But these people are not only rich from within, they are also persistent and independent. How is it shown? Yes, that painting is a thing limited by certain frames. Of our consciousness. Not our consciousness. The more frames, the duller the picture. Do not be afraid. Try to listen less to teachers, teachers and various other gurus. Few and rarely do people really constantly say the essence. Each has its own point of view and its own cockroaches. And carefully trying to impose it on you. If you are afraid and too diligently obey everything, nothing good will come of it. If you go beyond what is generally accepted, do not shake before dipping a brush in a paint of one color or another, applying it to one or another part of the picture, then, overcoming errors, observing, experimenting, you will come to a pleasant result.

I dare not say that all drawing teachers carry nonsense. Nevertheless, knowing something in this matter and understanding, I can say one thing for sure: what you like to the point of insanity to one may not like the other. One teacher will enthusiastically praise your work, another will shake his head meaningfully and insist that you can still fix it, maybe. That’s how teachers in art schools, universities argue, endlessly, accompanying the process with screams and even curses, argue again and again about which work is better and more interesting. Is adrenaline given in this way?

But there is one inviolable rule for everyone: a picture that pours out energy, dynamics, life, beauty, personality, even if it is not built well, will always be in the most honorable first place. So it was, it is, and it always will be. So decide what you should pay more attention to, technique and skill, or something else inside of you.

Expand your own consciousness. Watch the work of the best artists recognized by time. How extraordinary they are, how fabulous some of them are! Take at least Leonardo da Vinci. No need to be afraid to take the color a little brighter and more saturated than you see, combine it with the one that lies on the opposite pole… Draw a person with a huge head and small body. Push your own philosophy into the paper or poke it up there for no reason, so that others can solve it later… It’s interesting, crazy!..
