If you took particular joy in actually producing
something – an end product – rather than just
messing with all those neat (or should I say,
messy) paints, you almost certainly have an
artist within.
3. Browse a local crafts superstore or Internet
crafting sites (please start by browsing around
TheArtfulCrafter.com!). Go up and down the
aisles, whether virtual or real, and see what
appeals to you. Purchase a few kits. [Aside: If
you intend to sell what you make from the get-
go, be sure to consider what will also appeal to
your future customers.]

4. Don’t be afraid to try something new. To me, a sub-
definition of artist is “someone who is always trying
something new” – new techniques , new media. You
have little to lose – the cost of a kit or a few tubes of
paint – and very much to gain!
