Eve:

HEY, ARE ANY OF YOU LEFT HANDED???

I AM ! IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO PAINT!

YOU KNOW ,.... THE CROSSOVER TAPS INTO YOUR RIGHT BRAIN = ABSTRACT

Ann:

Hey, you know the best artists are left handed - the only people in their right mind.

buffy:

Sure, I'm left handed too. I think we're naturally capable of using both sides of the brain to be our artistic selves. Hated Betty Edwards book - doesn't appeal to me at all - who cares about her neurological studies in the use the right side of the brain. Us lefties use it anyway....... We just want to create in all forms of art - watercolor, pastels, charcoal, oils, acrylic. YAY!

Bob:

I too am a left handed artist. The only problem I run into is with most thumb palettes. The cut of the palette is always designed for right handed painters. The cut also presents the best surface, "the top". So to hold the palette properly in the right hand to paint with the left, I have to turn the palette over and then reshape the bevel of the thumb hole in the palette to make it comfortable.
