How to paint like a pro? The question is probably not what you think. Most people think that the goal of art is to produce pictures. I don’t think so. I think the goal of art is to experience things in more dimensions than we are normally aware of. While painting, you become intensely aware of subtle variations in color, shape, and line. The world appears before you in new ways.

The subject drops away and for a moment you are simply alive in an exquisite moment of awareness. Your job as an artist is to reproduce that experience as accurately as possible. What makes one artist’s work better than another’s is how well they capture that experience.

I can’t tell you what art is; I can only tell you how I make it, but maybe that will help if you want to make it too.

I will show you how to paint like a pro, a master of light, color and shadow. You can achieve this in your own home. If you are serious about painting, but don’t have the money to get all the equipment you need, this is the app for you.

You don’t need expensive art materials or fancy gadgets to create great paintings. The materials you already have at home (or can easily find) are more than enough for creating beautiful paintings. With my app, you will learn to use simple everyday objects and household items as basic tools for painting your artwork from scratch. I have used many of these items in my own paintings and illustrations, and am now ready to share them with you.”

Art supplies can be ridiculously expensive, if you don’t know what you’re doing. But there are a lot of things that artists need that are inexpensive and easy to find. They just aren’t usually very convenient, so we don’t bother looking for them.

If you want to paint like a pro, get yourself some empty egg cartons. Paint does not come in tubes. Artists’ paint comes in little pots that look a little bit like old-fashioned lipsticks, but flatter and thicker; they’re called “tubes.” They have lids that screw into the bottom and an attached handle with which you can hold them while painting. The handles are made of metal and often get bent out of shape when you put them back in the box. So artists use egg cartons to protect the paint tubes from damage during transport. An empty egg carton is just the right size to hold one tube and its lid.

If you look at any artist’s work and think, “Wow! That’s so realistic!”, chances are he or she has been using pencils or charcoal to sketch out their painting before taking up the brush; this is how they get such precise detail. If you want precise detail too, for your drawings or figures, you can buy special

After you find out what you want to draw or paint, you need to pick the right materials. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on art supplies to be creative and make good art. In fact, some of the best artists in history were very poor and made do with what they had.

TIP! If you’re just beginning as an artist, start out with watercolors. They are easier to use than oil paints and give you a good idea of what painting is like before you make a big financial commitment.

Next, decide whether you want to paint with brushes or paintbrushes. Brushes are for fine details and for painting small sections of your work at a time; paintbrushes are for large areas and broad strokes (like grasses or trees). You’ll also need some paper.

Finally, decide whether you want to get oil paints or watercolors. Oil paints are thicker than watercolors, so they stay wet longer as you’re working on them. Watercolors dry faster but it’s hard to mix colors together when using them-you have to let each one dry before adding another color.

Make sure you have enough money for the kind of art materials that fit your budget before buying anything.

So why does everyone say that the only way to learn how to paint is by doing it? Why, if you want to be a pro-level tennis player, do you train by playing with other pros?

Because no one can teach you how to do something they have never done. If they could, they’d be pro-level at it themselves.

But fortunately there is another way. When a master painter teaches, he will often make a beginner copy his work. This isn’t just a way of getting work done; it’s also an excellent way to learn how to paint. The process of trying to imitate his stroke and color decisions helps clarify what makes his work look like his work. And in the process of imitation, the student begins to internalize his methods and make them her own.”

If you’re like me, you’ve always wanted to paint but never took the time to learn how. Now is the perfect time to learn because there are so many online resources. There are plenty of websites where you can find step-by-step instructions on how to paint a specific subject or design. If you want more than basic instruction, they also sell books with full color illustrations and details on technique.

I also recommend joining an online community where people share their own works and give feedback on each other’s paintings. This will help you build confidence and develop new skills. The online communities I’ve found most helpful are Art Critique Circle and Facebook groups for artists like Watercolorists International, Mixed Media Artists, Watercolor Paintings, Digital Painters Art Studio, Mixed Media Artists Group and Drawing Underground.

Art Critique Circle is my favorite website for learning about watercolor painting because it has a lot of free information from artists who have been doing this for years. It has a forum where people post pictures of their work and ask questions about different techniques. You can also include a link to your own blog or website so that more experienced artists can see your work and provide feedback.

The Facebook groups are great for finding out what people are working on right now,

In the end, I found myself in an art supply store. It was a mess. But it had what I needed to make the video I was trying to create: a camera, lights, and a screen on which to project the images. If you are making a movie or a painting or a sculpture, or anything else that requires external equipment, then you need to go to an art supply store. It’s like going to Costco for food if you’re cooking for yourself, or if you want to build a doghouse and don’t want to spend all day making individual cuts with an electric saw.

But the mess! There were no signs that said where anything was. The labels on the boxes weren’t visible unless you were looking straight at them; they were placed too close together. And one of the things I needed—a cassette tape—was nowhere in sight.

It took me several minutes to find what I was looking for because there was no system. The place looked like someone had shaken up a box of Legos and dumped them out on the floor.

So why did I go there? Because it turned out that in addition to being messy, it was also huge. Shelves went from floor to ceiling everywhere; some of them disappeared into al
