While I mostly carve wood I really enjoy all types of art. Watercolor, drawing, music, you name it. That’s what this section is devoted to. I also talk about some art schools as practice is the path to success and classes are a great way to pursue that.
Wood carving is a great pursuit but no art form is truly separate from the others. I’ve always had the thought that I could improve my wood carving if I studied drawing and painting. It hasn’t always been easy but I believe pursuing these other arts, drawing especially, has helped improve my eye for art.
I hope these other pursuits help you in your wood carving or other art adventures!
I commend you on your article about Mickey Hudspath, and his chip mcarving. He is not only a great chip carver but a real gentleman. Whre in Georgia are you located? I am in Marietta and do wood carvings too. No web site , just carve and hang them on the wall, perhaps you would like to see some of them sometime while passing thru. My insperation was brought on by reading a book about Grinling Gibbons, ever heard of him? A wood carver of the 16th century. As far as I am concerned he may be one of the best ever. If you have never heard of you you may want to look him up. Thanks for youe interest in wood carving and good luck and good health, keep up the good work .
