This article is a good resource for students who have to make classical painting this summer. It will provide them with basic steps of classical painting, as well as some tips on how to avoid common mistakes and make the masterpiece.
The first thing you should do is to prepare all necessary tools. The most useful tool is a sketchbook or notebook; it will help you to keep track of your ideas and organize your work. Another important thing is a set of quality paints. You can buy them in any art shop or just order them online. However, the most important aspect of your work are brushes, because they let you control paint and achieve the best results.
The second step is to decide what kind of art you want to create. When you have an idea, draw it on paper. This will help you to get an overall view of your project and make sure that you have enough space for each element.
For instance, if you are going to paint a landscape, draw trees and buildings in the distance. If it’s a portrait, draw eyes, noses and mouths first. It’s essential that everything fits well together and contributes to the overall composition.
The third step is very important because it involves sketching the outline of your painting with thin lines which will later
Painting is a craft that requires years of practice and mastery. Even professional artists spend the majority of their time practicing and perfecting their skill. Unfortunately, there are a lot of stereotypes about painting that make it seem like it’s harder to learn than it really is.
TIP 1: Don’t Underestimate Your Skills
You might be thinking, “Whoa! I’m not as good as Michelangelo!” But remember, you don’t have to be great to be good. If you are willing to work hard and put in the time, you can become a competent painter who can create beautiful pieces of art. You can do it!
TIP 2: Don’t Be Afraid of the Palette Knife
One of the most common mistakes beginners make is the fear of using the palette knife. They figure they’ll just use brushes or pens because they’re easier to use. While paints are definitely easier to layer with brushes, it’s important that you take advantage of all the tools at your disposal. Using a palette knife is not only liberating, but also allows for more texture and detail in your work.
TIP 3: Learn How to Plan Ahead
When you start out as an artist, everything has to be done right on the spot. Before

Classical art is making a big comeback and is a very hot topic right now, but there are a few mistakes that novice artists make and I’d like to shed some light on them.
If you’re trying to perfect your classical art skills or just learning the basics, you may be making these mistakes without even realizing it.
Many classical artists have been making these same mistakes for years. It’s time to stop!
The most common mistake that new painters make is to fail to consider the three values of light, medium and dark in their work. An understanding of these three values are what will allow you to create a painting that is not just aesthetically pleasing, but also has depth and dimension.

1. A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE SUBJECT
This is probably the most common mistake, and something I see a lot with students of all levels and in all mediums. It’s understandable because often the model is so good that it’s hard to tell what needs to be changed. This requires a great deal of confidence in your own ability and honesty with yourself.
That old business of drawing what you see is not quite true because some of the things you see are not there and must be imagined. You have to see what you want, rather than what you have.
It helps if your teacher can show you this by sketching over your work (for better or worse). Also, get plenty of references from other artists, but don’t copy them, look at them for guidance only.
2. FRUSTRATION BECAUSE YOU CANNOT REACH THE STANDARD YOU EXPECT TO REACH
The problem here is one of expectation. If you don’t know how far away you are, it’s hard to get better. If you don’t accept that it takes years to get good at anything worthwhile then give up now because nothing will satisfy you!
3. PUTTING TOO MUCH ENERGY INTO FINE
