I've been passionate about painting since my childhood. I love drawing large landscapes. It's incredibly rewarding to sit in nature and capture the beauty of the outdoors on paper. However, I had to put this hobby on hold due to my demanding school schedule. I would say this hobby is best suited for people who possess patience, a high level of visualization, and a vivid imagination. While natural talent is often mentioned, I believe it's more about dedication and practice. The process of creating artwork requires careful attention to detail. Portraits, for example, involve intricate techniques and understanding of anatomy. Unfortunately, my full-time education, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., leaves me with very little time for painting, as it's a very time-consuming pursuit. Despite these constraints, I hope to pick up this hobby again and experience the sense of peace and tranquility it brings. I find painting to be incredibly therapeutic. I hope one day I'll be satisfied with my paintings if I don't give up on this passion. The biggest lesson I've learned from painting is to never give up. Sooner or later, you'll find and achieve what you desire.
