Painted today, for the first time in decades. I'd forgotten how much it wires me up, as writing wires me up. I've also pretty much forgotten which brushes make which kind of marks, and which I find most useful - which is actually fortunate, since I'm learning gouache painting, which is VERY different from the oils I used to do. I was self-taught, so never really learned the correct methods of applying paint - which, I realize now, was limiting, the way poor stance would limit even the best golfer's swing. One can only go so far... or at least, I think *I* could only go so far. I'm glad I'm re-learning properly, and from excellent instructors.

But, it'll take me months of doing simple studies, just to learn to handle the brushes and the paint.
