My daughter loves painting and does it quite often. She's very good. Do you know much about painting?
A little! I love it as a mode of creative expression -- the forms are so numerous. Is there a style she prefers?
She loves to draw all kinds of things. But, she loves to draw animals and people, all kinds!
Does she just use a brush? It's interesting how some people paint with other things like knives, sponges, and airbrushes.
She does use brushes!
Does she prefer a more realistic style, like photographic -- or abstract and symbolic?
She prefers realistic, but she has went through different styles. She has really focused on how to bring out bright and blended colors now.
I love it! She must be very appreciative to have you as a supportive mom. She's part of a very long history of humans painting -- all the way back to pre-historic people and many many MANY cultures!
Yes, I wished I had the talent, and have no idea where she gets it from! She is very talented at 15, and was awarded the 'Most Artistic' at school
Ah, what a great validation! And it sounds like she's truly inspired both by the act of painting and the art of painting!
