I'm in my 50's, can I lean to draw or paint, well? ?

I'm talking about using the "learn to draw" "learn to paint"  instructions you find in the crafts & hobbies. I learned to draw fairly well as a kid but it's been years.

    Absolutely. Ever heard of Grandma Moses? My husband is turning 50 this year and he's started doing drawing lessons. I highly recommend a book called "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." I think it comes with a workbook, too. He made a lot of progress after using that book. I also recommend YouTube, there are tons of art and crafting videos there.

    Only if you have the inborn talent.

    Sure you can.  The famous Grandma Moses (see link below) didn't start to paint seriously until she was 78.

    It's never too late to learn how to draw or paint. I know how to draw and paint but it's been a few years for me too. 

    You may be a bit rusty at drawing. If you remember how to do it (you can also hold a pencil or what ever you use to draw with), then you should be able to pick it up again. Try sketching or drawing a few things. If you still like drawing then try painting. Take a few classes or watch a few tutorials on you tube. You may want to pick a type of paint that you want to learn. There's oil paint, acrylic paint and water color paint. If you don't have any paints or brushes or other tools to paint with, you're going to have to buy them.
