You don’t need to be born with artistic talent to learn to paint with acrylics. And you certainly don’t need years of experience to find the joy in painting.
All you need is:
- a desire to create (which I know you have, otherwise you wouldn’t be here)
- an open mind & heart
- dedicated time to explore your creative potential
Even though you might not know it yet, you have everything you need within you to make beautiful paintings and enjoy the process.
You just need to learn a few basics to get you started.
If you want a convenient and easy-to-follow way to learn everything you need to get you started with acrylics (so you don’t have to piece things together), this Acrylic For Beginners Bundle: A-Z Guide To Your First Acrylic Masterpiece will be your pal. It includes an easy-to-follow (and fun!) e-book, 3 beginner-friendly painting tutorials, easy painting ideas/inspiration, and much more….
Written for beginners by someone whose been there herself.
If that’s not you thing, I have a few suggestions on blog posts below to brush up on some acrylic basics also.
Which ever format you choose, just know you’ve moved the dial forward by just being here and wanting to learn more. Good stuff, you are on your way to painting some amazing things, my friend!
