Why is it that the mediums of art that we hate are where we do our best work as an artist?
I love to draw, that being said I’m an OK artist with a pencil, I just don’t get paint, but let me pick up charcoal and WOW! I can make anything POP! But why? I absolutely LOATHE using charcoal – its messy, it dries your skin out, its just all around my most hated media to use to drawing and creating. Is there something in our brains that tell us that what we hate is what we need to embrace? Is it God’s way of saying nany nany boo boo? I guess I will never truly understand and just stock up on hand lotions and skin moisturizing soaps to overcome this method of art.
