Is there a 'craft' forum that I'm blind to?

Hi all,
the issue (question doesn't really fit the bill) is that I have some unused canvases that I bought to make some pretty artwork and be creative with when we moved into our flat. 2 months on and they're still sitting there. I have brushes and acrylic paints in various colours, I just need to be creative!
Does anyone have any ideas? Or know anywhere I can go to get ideas?
Thanks!
Caroline

Look up paintings online and find one you like. A simple one like Mondrian if you are new to painting. Pencil the outline in lightly and just go ahead and paint it. If you're not happy with the outcome just call it a practice and try again. That's how I got over a problem similar to yours.
Or find a local art group and brush up your skills there.It's great to be ALIVE!0 -
