Nothing can stand in the way of a talent that wants to prove itself. And a real artist will not be stopped by either blindness or lack of hands. Our hero, the author of watercolors, British Steve Chambers, as a child, literally took a pencil, and then a brush in his teeth. The artist says that it is no less convenient than holding a spoon in your hands. True, Steve Chambers can only judge the latter by hearsay: due to a congenital disease, the muscles of his arms atrophied. Despite the fact that the master never held in his hands either a brush or a pencil, this does not affect the quality of his watercolor drawings - mainly of rural and urban landscapes.
50-year-old Briton Steve Chambers from Norfolk clutches his teeth for life in art. People with the same disorder as his have a hard time coping with daily activities. But Steve began to paint from childhood, and working on watercolors helped him realize himself. At the age of 18, he entered an art college, but did not graduate, since he had his own vision of painting. Steve Chambers is now a father of four and a member of the 800-member Association of Mouth and Foot Painters.
