In order to be a great painter, you have to know how to do it. You need to learn about colors, about drawing techniques, about rules of perspective- all sorts of things.
But it’s not enough just to know these things. You have to actually use them. You have to practice drawing, and painting. Even if you’re only doing the simplest of exercises, say a circle or a square on a piece of paper, you are exercising your hand-eye coordination, your dexterity- in short, your ability to paint.
The more you do this exercises, the better you will become at painting. It’s not as simple as that sounds; it takes patience and dedication to improve at anything. But if you want to be a great painter, there is no way around it: you have to practice.**

The art of painting is not just about learning how to paint. A more accurate name would be “the art of using the right color, texture and effect at the right time.”
Painting has been around ever since people started to draw or doodle on cave walls. The first forms of recorded music were also paintings, and they too have been around as long as humans have existed.
What are some tips for learning how to paint? Well, the first step is learning to how to draw. That’s a different skill than painting, and can take years to master. I suggest using graphite pencils when you’re starting out, then switching to charcoal pencils once you feel comfortable with your drawing skills.
If you’re not sure where to start with drawing, try looking for an instructional book at your local library or bookstore or check out my blog post on How to Draw . You can also look for an instructional DVD (videos) in your local store or online. Whatever method you choose, remember that practice makes perfect!
After you’ve mastered the basics of drawing, it’s time to learn how to paint! I recommend acrylic paints because they dry quickly and are easy to find at your local craft store. There are many types of brushes available for acrylic
Painting is a very complex and confusing art form to learn. It involves many different facets, starting with the display and preparation of paint, brushes, palettes and other tools. The actual process of painting involves a variety of techniques, methods and strategies that must be mastered in order to be successful. Every artist has his or her own style and methods, as well as tools that are used to create beautiful works of art.
The best way to get started in the world of painting is to take a class from a local college or art school. A great deal can be learned by taking courses on various subjects such as composition, color design, perspective and shading techniques. Students who are serious about their art can also learn about the history of painting, the different styles and types of art from around the world and even how to restore paintings. Other classes include drawing from life and painting from photographs.
A beginning artist should first determine what type of painting they wish to do. For example, does one want to do realistic portraits? Or perhaps abstract paintings? Whatever occupation one decides upon will generally dictate what kind of materials need to be acquired for this art form. It is important to remember that some supplies may need to be purchased online or through catalogs instead of at local stores due
You can learn how to paint. It is a skill, like playing the guitar or cooking. The difference is that paintings are more permanent than songs or souffles.
But really, painting isn’t that hard. You just need to practice and learn some techniques and figure out what you want to paint and then go ahead and do it.
I learned how to paint by trial and error and by copying other painters. I learned a lot of new things when I started doing rock art on my vacations.
I’m just a beginner but I know what I like and what I don’t. And when I see it, I can recognize the good from the bad. Some things are better than others.
One day, I painted a rock with some paint that wouldn’t wash off. It resisted rain for months and even after being washed by the sprinklers, it still looked sort of vibrant. That’s how I learned about rock art.
Paint that stays on rocks is pretty cool but it’s not very easy to apply. It takes practice to get it right and you have to be careful not to ruin the natural beauty of your rock by overdoing it or by making it look “fake”. Here’s some advice.
The three main aspects of rock art are the images themselves, the placement of the art and the surrounding landscape.
The images on rock surfaces were created through a process of cutting away at the surface and by pecking to break off pieces. The Australian museum has good examples of this technique and shows how early man would have done it.
Another aspect is that many paintings were placed in locations where they could be seen from a distance. Often these sites were along pathways or near water sources. Again imagine you are an early human living in a region populated with other humans. A picture on a rock face such as a painting of an animal, or a silhouette of a person will help you to identify others and tell stories about them.
Various different methods were used to paint on rock surfaces some older than 30,000 years ago and some studies suggest that there was quite sophisticated planning involved in placing art including using distant views so the artist would not be detected while painting images.
The third aspect involves the broader landscape within which rock art is found it can tell us things about how people interacted with their environment and how they saw animals or spiritual beings in their everyday lives.
