I have an interest in picking up painting as my own personal hobby (not competitively, or for a profession). My only concern is that I lack the ability to draw, in general, or I've never actually tried. I'm wondering if there's a niche for people like me, people with the desire to learn, but that haven't always been gifted from birth. Is there a niche that I can fall into for the less talented? Is all hope lost for me? (teasing, but still >_<) From the experience of other painters? Were you always able? Or was painting a skill that you acquired and refined with practice?

zap actionsdower! posted:None of us are gifted from birth. It takes lots and lots of practice to become an artist. I firmly believe that anyone can become a talented artist with enough time and practice. I'll keep that in mind, and I'll come back and make note of my progress once I get started  . Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Just for the hell of it, I grabbed the paint set that I had (more like project paint, like for finger-painting and such) lying around, a poster board, and started painting. What started to look like a cutesy weird painting, turned into full on attempts at blending... I find it strange that even though my original intention was to stick to cutesy, it's turning out completely different. I'm pretty sure I was painting for like an hour and a half. and I'm NOWHERE close to done, because it feels like I keep starting over in the same area. Anyway, I just thought I'd share my excitement =]
