There are myths surrounding the ability to draw and paint that it is innate skill that if you don't have a natural inclination that path is not available to you.
 
The truth is most people stop trying to draw or paint around the age of 6 or 10 and never try again.
 
These are skills that can be learned and honed. The choice is up to the individual to put in the time and work.
 
If you have been drawing and painting for years and want to push yourself in a skill or have always wanted to give it a try, consider taking tutoring sessions with Janette Bach.
