I have a hobby of trying out new hobbies till I've accumulated a bunch of stuff, then losing interest and doing new hobbies!
I've stuck with carpentry/woodworking, wine / beer making / distilling spirits, and outdoorsy hobbies like skiing / sailing.
Like others here I really enjoy reading, video games, etc. Getting back into scuba!
ah, my people
Okay so I'm with you on the hound dogs, those fuckers are the best boys, every single one of em including the girls
Reminds me of this from one of my favorite short video series years ago. Also, I'm the same!
Biggest problem for me is finding other people enjoying my new hobby, at the same stage of learning, during the time period that I am into it.
I've been learning acrylic painting the last few weeks. I'd love to find a forum to discuss this while I'm still into it.
See now I just got tempted to go get acrylic paints and join you. Get thee behind me, satan
It's great! What I like about it most is that you can go a long way just by learning about paints, brushes, techniques. It's not like drawing where all your (well, my) initial attempts suck.
My biggest recommendation: get small canvases. It takes less time to paint and you can finish and get something good without too much time investment. Much more motivating than a big canvas where I get bored before finishing.
Also, check out joony art on youtube. Every video is 10 minutes. Easy paintings that look good. Great for ADHD painters.
Sorry, just realized I typed a lot to convince you to do something which might mean you'll stop your current hobby!
I'll check it out when I get home from the trip I'm on. I'll let you know how it goes!
