I absolutely agree with you. I think that charters are a *great* way for beginners to start. I paint them myself, occasionally. I would certainly consider myself a beginner; I wasn't a scribe in the Outlands, and only did calligraphy a few times. Perhaps I might have gone on to originals myself if I had had that base to guide me. I certainly didn't have a light table, either. I blocked out my calligraphy by hand with pencil, then *very* carefully erased it when it was completely dry. I know that's the hard way, but I figured if those monks could do it by candlelight, then I should be able to do it with modern lighting! I love the fact that the painters and artists are recognized. Lastly, I am in perfect agreement that there is room for both in this our beloved Kingdom. And keep up the good work with childrens' activites! I used to do that in the Outlands, too. I was their first Kingdom MoC.
In service to Crown and Kingdom,

As a beginner, I appreciate the chance to learn painting by doing charters.
It is also a great way for a beginner to decide if they have enough
aptitude to justify investing in a light table and other equipment so that
they can do original scrolls. I also feel that if I do mess up to the point that
the charter isn't good enough to be given out, at least I haven't messed up
someone's original work. It is also nice that the creators of charters get
recognized in Court when the charters are given out. So, I think that there is a place
for both the charters and the original scrolls in our Kingdom.
