What do you wish you were good at - or even average at?

1 Jan 2008

The thread about Singing Lessons made me think about my long-harboured wish to be artistic. I have bought a water colour set and a book on how to paint. Unfortunately the first thing the book says is that to do a water colour you have to be able to draw. DRAW? I can't even make a creditable stick man.
But I'm going to have a go and try to make something reasonable. You may say - do it for the sheer pleasure - but I'm sure many will agree, doing something really badly is no fun. I really want to make something nice to look at.
So, on that thought - what would you love to be able to do, but always thought you couldn't? Will you have a go this year?

Tosh!
Ignore the book and simply start playing with washes and density of colour... you'll be amazed at the good feeling that can be had from forming colourfields, and adapting as you go along.

Id like to have the self confidence to be a social butterfly. I can do lots of other things but lacking confidence makes it hard to put other things into practice.

Know what you mean! Lots of peeps think Im really confident and outgoing, but only with those i know well... Im terribly shy and nervous if I dont know anyone.
I would love to learn salsa or bellydancing, used to do Laroc classes and loved it.
Always wanted to be able to play the piano or sax (what a sexy sound that is).
Love to be able to speak another language too.
Other things I'd like to do better are, painting (oils/watercolour, mixed media etc), draw, make jewellry, silver smithing, pmc...... and learn how to do a website!

2 Jan 2008

ohh I love this thread.........for once I can do stuff that people like smile

I can play the piano and 'cello
I can draw pretty well although since I've stopped doing it I need to work at it more.
So now I've probably not got a job for much longer :lol2: why not just tell me what I should draw and we'll see how we go from there lol

3 Jan 2008

I wish I had some co-ordination.
I'm really bad at anything that requires different body parts moving in different directions.
Line dancing, pop-mobility, salsa, exercise videos, twister -I'm crap at 'em all! lol
