Painting Tips For Newbie Painters

By Frank Hamilton


Human are naturally subjected to emotions that may be overwhelming for each. During these times, people often hold on to things that makes them feel alive and where they can express what that feeling is. Often times, art is what people chose as outlets of whatever outburst there is inside. Painting as one example of art that is being used as outlet. So many things are possible when painting or drawing and whatever emotions are there from the artists are often translated into the masterpiece. One popular subject painted on most canvas are Coastal Canvas Prints.

True that being able to paint is a talent but it does not necessarily mean that those who are not born at it could not give it a shot. It may be hard at the beginning but all things that are done through effort and constant practice would eventually progress. There are classes that may be able to support the needs of assistance on painting but for those who wants self help, here are some tips that would walk everyone through painting from a beginner to pro.

This kind of activity would not be based on talent alone but the materials that are used make a whole difference on the result. Be sure to start of by choosing the medium that is suited for the individual style and preference. Try and try until the perfect products are found because not all people have same taste, whatever may work to others would not work for the rest.

Some of common paint materials there is are the watercolors, acrylic and the oil paints. Out of these three, watercolor is pretty much the generic ones, almost all people know what it is and it costs cheaper compared to other materials, well that would depend on the brand as well. However, when using such wet painting tool, ordinary paper or canvas may not work because it wrinkles easily, special papers needs to be used along this.

Acrylics dries pretty fast and is less messy. Paints like these are water based and they can get stack on the canvas that would quite seem like three dimensional. However, it can be wiped out pretty easy especially with water so being extra careful when using it is a musty. Sometimes, this are not that recommended for newbies because it is hard to manipulate compare to other materials. However, practice makes perfect so there should be nothing to worry of. Oil paints are the most expensive but they have rich shades and colors perfect for surreal arts.

Brushes are as important as the quality of medium about to get used. There are certain things to consider when choosing the brush. First is the shape of the bristle and second is the material that is used for it. There are so many possible types and shape of brushes, it is important to remember that for watercolors, round brush are the best suited. For acrylic, synthetic ones are perfect and for oil painting, a synthetic mix with a fiber tip.

When the materials are all settled then time to look for some inspiration. Go out and explore if one must. That way an individual would have an idea what subject is perfect for them and looking at something is easy that imagining the things that one wants to draw.

No rules when painting, whatever shape and color is in mind, do so. Nothing is considered ugly, all are masterpieces because it is made up of pure effort and emotion. It would as well be great to start with abstract ones.

But speaking of colors, one must have idea about the color wheel. That shall help in the mixing of colors to get the exact shade one like. There is nothing easier when blending using such technique.
