And I think that “Perhaps you might like to have a look at one of them to understand what I’m talking about” would be much better.

When did you use to draw? I guess drawing is not the same as painting. Do you really mean drawing? Were you doing well in that? Why did you quit it? I suppose your present occupation as an embroider has something in common with your love for drawing, right?

If you used "looked up", you would have had to say what you looked up, such as "I could have looked up some art before answering...". Saying "researched" didn't require more information, though I would say that I think the best solution to that sentence would have been, "I could have looked up some art...". It's more familiar for our level of conversation, and friendly, I think. Sort of a matter of tone.

I'll tell you more about my own experience with art in another letter....
