Painting can be an arduous process, but is also a means of expressing emotions and feelings. A wide range of emotions are possible, from sheer happiness to unnerving rage. Painting is something that everyone knows. Your favorite elementary teacher may have introduced it to you, another annoying middle-aged person in middle school or perhaps a high school teacher who influenced your career choice. You could also have attended a local class if you didn’t get the chance to learn about painting in school. Nevertheless, at some point in your life you were introduced to The Tingology Class.

Try using acrylics and water-color paints for beginners. If you’re reading the article, you likely have no idea how to paint. Oil paints can be used once you’re more skilled. Use water to make watercolors. To find watercolour paper, visit your nearest Joanne’s store or Michael’s. Acrylic paints also are easy to work with, as they don’t need to be thinned and last up to several months.

Second, get a canvas panel. This is the best option for beginners before moving on to stretched canvas. Next, select the brush that you want to use. It may seem like brushes don’t matter, but in reality they have the power to make or break an artwork. You can ask for information from your local supplier, but the size and materials are important. A bad brush can leave the bristles in your painting, and that is something no artist wants. It is also important to wash brushes right after you use them.
