If you come up with it as a neat plot for a week's continuity, save
the plot until you have actually shown him painting some first!

That really did seem to come out of the blue, didn't it?

Well, it's _bigger_. Painting takes lots of time, needs lots of
light, leaves canvasses lying around etc.

Smellier, too.

Yeah, a proper buildup would have taken a decent period.

Enh. I have a kit with a half-dozen tubes of watercolor, two brushes,
and a plastic palette tray that all fits in a lunch bag. Every couple
of years, when the mood hits, I'll buy a book of watercolor paper or a
few sheets of vellum; most of my output is wedged on a shelf in the
closet between shoeboxes.
Looking at the strip again, Jeremy does seem to be showing off
canvases, which I guess are more recognizable in a comics panel.

I realize that posting this probably makes me the most hypocritical
person on r.a.c.s, but - any .gifs available?

Hm. My watercolors fall (literally and figuratively) into the
"dabbler" category. On the other hand, my unconsciously-illustrated
meeting notes tend to be legendary, though I've never scanned any.

I'd be interested in seeing others' stuff too. How does the "RACS
art gallery" sound?

I'm game. Here's a project I've been working on. I've been drawing some toys
I have in a coloring book style.

I could open this site to other contributors if anyone else wants to
contribute.

That's an excellent offer! (The r.a.c.s. pet gallery has eaten just
about all ronniecat.com's storage space.) I have a handful of pretty
lame things I need to get around to scanning so I can share them. I
just feel like after critiquing comic strip artists here every day,
and seeing other r.a.c.s.ers have the cojones to share their own
(usually excellent) artwork, I almost owe it to put my own feeble
offerings out there.
(To be honest, I just started oil painting again... I have no art
training of any kind - not even grade school - and my first couple of
attempts to paint disappointed me so I quit. Then about two months
ago, a regular weblog commenter [not my blog] who I really like,
posted a link with great pride to some of her new art. And I looked at
it and I thought, "Oh my god, that is *so bad*. And she expresses such
joy and pride in it. I'm definitely coming at this from the wrong end
of the stick. I have to get over myself and *learn* to paint and have
*fun*, for God's sake, and embrace my lessons and messes along the
way." Right now I'm working on something that is probably both cliched
and crude - and I love it with all my heart and all my eyes.)

A very good attitude. In a pinch, you can eliminate the learning
part--it comes along naturally. That's assuming you have the
luxury of art as a hobby instead of trying to support yourself.
Keep some of the early efforts, too. It keeps you humble.
