It’s never too late to make childhood dreams come true. The ability to draw is not only a priceless gift of nature, but also labor, persistence, and time. Children draw without thinking about whether they have talent. An adult is characterized by a critical attitude towards the result. An adult has less time for creativity, but has patience, self-discipline, money, all conditions for learning to paint.

Children and teenagers usually enroll in art school or drawing courses on the advice of their parents. At a mature age, the decision is made after serious deliberation, weighted. A mature person has a developed intellect, life experience. The main problem at a mature age (we are not talking about non-working pensioners) is the lack of free time. The majority of people come to courses of drawing for their own pleasure, an insignificant number sets a goal to become an artist.

Factors explaining the positive influence of drawing:

How to learn to draw

Several options for learning to draw in adulthood:

Clubs at houses of culture. The head is unlikely to be able to teach academic drawing. In circles the atmosphere is wonderful, but there is no systematic education. This is an option for people for whom communication comes first.
Classes at master classes can help you choose a particular genre of painting, to deepen existing skills, learn the techniques and techniques of the master you like. At the end of the class you will have your own handmade painting. Class time is limited, the artist has no opportunity to teach you, he shows his technique.
Training with books can be used as a supplement to a class in an art studio. You have to be able to organize your time, there is no opportunity to listen to advice and criticism from a professional.
The same can be said of video master classes. An important advantage is the opportunity to review the desired episode, put on pause, not to rush after the master. Videos offer a large selection of drawing styles, you need to select a good product.
More information can be obtained in video courses, they offer systematic training. The teacher goes from simple to complex, explains the difficult points, shows the drawing process step by step. The disadvantage is the lack of feedback.
