My name is Morgan Addie, I'm 15 and a pro. artist. People always ask how I sccomplish my work, and I tell them with patience, of course. But the truth is I have a deep passion for art that came out of no where two years ago, and now I'm commissioned on almost a daily basis for different people here in Garland, TX. Anyway, that's me. I'm also a full-IB student (sophmore) at GHS and I play clarinet in the band.

thanks!  |

Is there anything you 'don't' do Morgan? 
Cooool. Patience indeed is a virtue, could you lend me some next time I try and paint online please?
Love your rose square - exquisitely done.
Age is relative. What do they say, mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter  |

Thats awesome Morgan!
My interest and talent came out of nowhere when I was around 13 too!
I always forget that though, and am like "That artist is 15 (or whatever)?! Yeah....okay." lol
Congrats on all your success! |

| It's people like you that I both admire and envy... I've had a passion for art ever since I first picked up a pencil, but I haven't gotten as far as you have. Perhaps one day, but as I get older I get frustrated because I can't put that mental image perfectly on paper (or in this case, into pixels). I just have to keep working and hope my patience lasts forever. xD |

I completely understand, Samantha... as sad as it may be, if I'm not looking at something, then my drawings suck (and I'm not being modest). There's a trick to photo-realism; all the details are right there, you just have to pay close attention to the image, colors, lines, patterns and so forth.
I also realize that there's alot more to art than photo-realism, but this style teaches you to draw from observation, and meanwhile perfect your technical skills.  |

| i agree with that.. i too found that observation and patience were a big key in wanting to draw realism. doesnt matter wat medium it is either.. alot of people are very hung on the idea of making mistakes.. i say fear not.. coz no one else will know wat ur actually looking at and what that looks like lol |

That's the same deal with me, the only true way I can draw extremely well is if I have references. That's another reason I get frustrated - I know have artistic ability in me, but how come it doesn't come out on paper when I'm trying to create my very own picture? I can do it when I copy, but I'm ambitious. It isn't enough for me xD
MUST. CREATE. OWN. MASTERPIECE.
Ahh. Someday. ^__^ |

I'm exactly the same. When I do paintings for friends or as commissions, they are always merticulously planned out before I start. I'd love to free myself up a bit and just paint and draw spontaneously, but it's hard to do when you're a perfectionist! I don't like not knowing what my painting will look like when it's finished, I'm probably a bit of a control freak! After uni when I have more time I'll definately start being more adventurous though. Hopefully this site will be around for a while so we can check on each other's progress =)
