We are currently in a popular art revolution, similar to the one a century ago when photography was invented - and suddenly almost anyone could make their own pictures. Now inexpensive digital art tools, online digital art portals and artist's sales sites like Fine Art America, have opened a world of image making, sharing and art commerce to millions of people, whether or not they have mastered traditional art tools.
If you're looking to get started in digital art I suggest a visit to my Squidoo Lens for a jump start.
What about the spiritual, soulful side of art making? That's harder to teach and more personal, but it's something I discuss in my book and my art blog.
Wishing you a creative future!

Shunryu Suzuki

If you aim to dispense with method, learn method.
If you aim at facility, work hard.
If you aim for simplicity, master complexity.
