What would life be like if there was no colour in the world? Certainly, wouldn't want things to turn out that way, right? But as long as there's art to paint the whole world in bright colours, this will never happen. Here are a few reasons why art is one of the best hobbies ever.
You can be as expressive as you want once your brush hits the canvas. This means that you can take anything and make it in tune with your imagination. Especially if you are one of those individuals who find it hard to experience their true feelings, art is a wonderful way to get rid of negative emotions and to express the positive ones as well more clearly. It is utterly satisfying once you've put your thoughts on a canvas. Various artistic paintings expressing hidden emotions are available on display at Sri Lankan Art Gallery. Most of the pieces of art are Sri Lanka paintings done using traditional techniques.
There are several hobbies in the world and some of them are quite out of reach of the common folk who can't afford the cost of it all. Painting, however, is a hobby that can have a cost of next to nothing to hundreds. For the moment, surely you can make do with a pencil, eraser, paper and a few colour pencils too if you really want them. Once you've honed your skills well, you can even come up with pieces that are worth thousands in cash.
Patience is an important virtue that many people lack in today's world. But an artist learns this with all those painstaking masterpieces that they've come up with. It takes time to bring your sketch to perfection, to get the mix of colours just right and to get your brush strokes just the way you want them. It takes a lot of practice and there are times where you will be super frustrated but believe that it will all work out well. The end result of your painting will definitely be something worth all your trouble.
Most artists would agree that painting is absolute freedom and indeed it is true. When it comes to painting, you can work on canvas, paper, glass, walls and pretty much anything tangible. You can also play around with the colours and even create new colours to make your picture even more unique. Moreover, you can draw anything you want. Be it abstract work or detailed paintings the choice is yours, so do as you please!
Art is more than just a decoration to be hung on the wall, it's an inspiration to those who look at it! Art is one of the oldest hobbies in the world and ancient artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Pablo Picasso have managed to inspire generations with their beautiful works of art. You can inspire with art too, just pick up that pencil and start sketching today!
