Art Without Talent

I was never an artsy person nor was I someone who terribly hated arts either. When the pandemic hit, like any normal person, I stayed at home and was submitted to finding ways to entertain myself when nothing else could. I actually bought some markers on a whim thinking they were on sale. However, when I realized they were not, I wanted to return them. Until, I tried them and immediately loved them. I couldn’t draw well with them, but I loved the doodles I would just scribble out when I was bored. The vibrant colors were wonderful to my eyes and felt so free. They became a way for me to simply enjoy mundane life in the midst of this global pandemic.
