I have hit another road block creatively. My latest hobby has been to learn to draw. That stemmed from picking backup watercolour painting again after nearly 3 years dormant. So i got a nice set of paints, spent a couple good weeks everyday learning new shit online then messing around for a bit with my own paints. Eventually I figured I would need to learn to draw things if I wanted to paint them, so I went back to square one, learning how to draw people based on their rudimentary shapes, and I also was looking into perspective and values. I've also been messing around with pencil crayons, buying some initially to help enhance watercolour painting later on, but I got sidetracked for a few weeks by pencil crayon art and artists, such as CJ Hendry from Australia https://cjhendry.live/ . I have been diagnosed as having ADHD but I didn't like the medication they put me on, and since I am currently taking enough medication as is, I don't have the patience to go through the process to find another pill that may or may not work. I attribute my scatterbrained-ness to that, although not consciously. I do get frustrated though, from never finishing anything.
I feel like if I had a place to go where people made art, like an art house, especially if I could live in a place like that! To be surrounded by people making art would be so energising. I want to be surrounded by free spirited, creative, and loving people who want to make art and especially art that sends a message. That is what I want to figure out how to do, make a picture tell 1000 words, or more. I try writing but its hard to sit in the memories, its emotionally draining and puts me into a dark place. With art, I feel a lot safer. But you look at artists, especially what they now call "street artists" aka graffiti artists like Bansky, who at one time, was able to make people stop and think, now makes people stop and argue over who gets to take it and sell it https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-banksy-appears-building-overnight-cash-in .
