Brushes are the death of using your time constructively. Well actually it is very constructive to doodle and sketch. Now I am the first the agree I am not very good – whatever that might mean – I am certainly a lot better photographer for example. And yet it really is enjoyable to sit here and doodle and sketch with my iPad. It really is very sickening when you see what really talented artist can do with this software and yet it at the same time it is not. I don’t have the discipline to put in the hours to get really good – far from it. Indeed if I really tried to become a better artist I think the whole process would loose it’s child like attraction. For a short period you transport yourself back to your childhood and forget all the worries of the adult world. The only thing that is missing is the smell of the paints – well I’ll forgo that along with the mess. Perhaps I’m not that much of a child after all !
