Keep painting! Painting and drawing are the first arts.
I have a tracer camera (camera obscura). I've been taking video and
digitizing it with "Snappy". I play with the imagery in photoshop. When I
am satisfied I print it and project onto a panel do a line drawing and
forget about the computer... lots of fun!
I am having the time of my life!
