I'd like to paint please show me how, <br />The pull is strong within me now, <br />Create in colours, let them flow, <br />Express emotions, let them go. <br /> <br />Watercolour is my first choice. <br />Lilting landscape lures me, voice <br />Pleading, to paint, to capture <br />Scenery to enrapture. <br /> <br />Swift sketch on paper so pristine; <br />Variable wash to set the scene. <br />Dab in clouds. Now, where's the light? <br />Take care to keep those parts bright. <br /> <br />Mixing and merging tonals grow, <br />Form valleys, hills and forest floor. <br />Brush in branches, spatter on leaves; <br />Dry wash on water if you please. <br /> <br />Stand back, view the emerging scene. <br />Water reflection's like a dream. <br />Stroke here, touch there signature neat, <br />Passion spent, masterpiece complete.<br /><br />Edith Oram<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/artistic-aspirations/
