If you're enthusiastic about it that sounds like an ideal endeavour for retirement and even before. Especially since the 2.8 version it got much more beginner friendly and there are thousands of fun (and less fun) tutorials for free to get started. You can surely translate some skills from gimp aswell.
As my former psychology professor once told: An old man will not be apt to learn chinese anymore like a young man is, but an old man who fell in love to a chinese woman in china will still pick it up on the fly. If you have some emotional attachement then give it a go! Worst that can happen is that you challenge yourself with something new.
