Everyone can draw and everyone can paint.
Let me start by saying up front, everyone can draw and everyone can paint. The problem is how much time you are gong to put into practicing and honing your newly found skills.
You will read about cool and warm colours, perspective, composition all of which will put you off right from the start. Well don't be, it happens to all of us.
