Can you draw?

I am pretty hopeless at drawing but for our house-concerts we like to have some sort of decoration on at least the back wall of the Music Shack. To draw something like a guitar I usually print out an outline that I’ve found on Google then I make a grid over the outline. I then draw larger squares on a piece of cardboard and copy the outline to the larger cardboard using the squares as a guide. For our last concert I made several shamrocks to place round the Irish flag. The white edging makes them show up a bit better in the light. You’d think I could have drawn a couple of shamrocks freehand but no, they looked awful. I like these. And doesn’t our muso look like an Irishman? Tall and thin with quite sharp features. We’ve packed everything away now but I don’t suppose we’ll ever need the shamrocks again. Edit: The stage lights make the flag appear green, white and red which is the Italian flag but the Irish flag is green, white and orange. I'm sorry for the photo. I've had a word with the photographer and he gives his apologies.

@JudyEv Do you think it will enhance if you can enroll a workshop to draw? I think it is still possible to learn it.

@Shavkat Possibly I could learn but I don't think I'm really interested enough to bother taking lessons.

@JudyEv Yes! My husband is an amazing artist and I stare at his pictures in awe because I am not talented in that way. Lol

And some people make it look so easy don't they? I'm glad you like the shamrocks. I was pretty pleased with them at the end.

@JudyEv I’ve heard it said that Guinness is more of a meal than a drink.

@xFiacre Vince doesn't like Guiness despite being an Irish citizen. I hope he doesn't get tried for treason one day. I nearly wrote 'reason' instead of 'treason'. He could be tried for that as well!

I was not blessed with the gift of drawing, or any artistry for that matter. But my daughter is amazing at drawing and sketching. So if I ever need anything drawn, I always go to her for help, and she never disappoints with her work. I really like your shamrocks around the Irish flag. You should save them for next year's St. Patricks's Day concert.

Some people just have the gift don't they? I suppose we might have another concert near St Pat's Day in which case the shamrocks could get another airing.

@moffittjc No, I couldn't throw away my masterpieces so soon after they're creation. I'll do it next year when they're covered in dust and cobwebs - and only if we don't look like needing them again.

Lol your musician looks like he's just stepped out of an old Irish tourist advert! I love the backdrop as well! I used to have a talent for drawing when I was younger but I seem to have lost the patience to sit down and do it!
