If you’ve fallen for the myth that artistic talent is only for a gifted few, it’s easy to conclude that there’s no way to draw with any heart. Busting this myth is less than 2 minutes away in:

Does lack of talent prevent you from drawing with heart ? 

Don’t you need a special gift to be able to draw ? Though you’re creative in other ways, you might cringe at the thought of having to draw anything real.

If you were born with the potential for verbal language, then why would you not have the potential for visual language as well ?

Prehistoric people made cave drawings even before they developed written language. Just look at pictures of the cave drawings in Lascaux, France, as fresh and lively as any today.

This is no myth:
================

We are all born with the potential for every talent. So why do only a few develop their talent to draw ? You may have learned humiliation from your first experiments of drawing in childhood. Fears may have grown to protect you ever since from more wounding.

Inside you is this wild potential for drawing things full of life. Thinking about trying to draw with your critical mind, only scares it away.

Just like capturing a wild horse with threats or force, trying to imitate reality with your critical mind will frighten away any relationship you might have with your undiscovered potential.

Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.
=============================================

People used to tame wild horses by breaking their spirit. It took several days before horses would lose their freedom and obey out of fear. Their natural potential to trust a partnership with people was never given a chance.

Now, some sensitive “horse whisperers” take care to win wild horses’ trust with understanding. Within minutes these sensitive, intelligent animals want to live and work with the people who respect them, of their own free will.

Instead of avoiding drawing that scares you, take a closer look at your fears with wild horses in mind. Fears are there to protect you from danger. Through appreciation and respect, you can build and strengthen trust and dissolve your fears.

So how can you find your wild drawing potential ?======================================

A sensitive trainer can help you approach your wild potential from the inside by trusting your heart. Within a few minutes, it is possible for you to discover the first glimpse of your inborn natural ability to draw. Not expecting to imitate or capture anything, you can see for yourself proof of your raw talent.

Before, if you believed your own critical mind, you lost all trust, and your sense of inner knowing. Now, if you can only trust your heart, it will know beyond a doubt that this is your own natural visual language finally awakening.

Fear itself is not the enemy. It’s fear of facing fear that cripples us. A good horse trainer will recognize wild horses’ fear and work with it to earn their trust. You can learn to be your own horse whisperer, trust your heart and lose your fears, without breaking your spirit or losing your freedom.

Drawing things full of life has nothing to do with being born special. Your beliefs and expectations - and not outer circumstances - are the only thing holding you back. How cool is that ? How empowering to be master of finding and freeing your own artistic potential !
