2. Give yourself permission to succeed and give yourself permission to fail, experiment, enjoy the process of painting as much as the end result. Give yourself a ‘good’ talking to. Don’t be one of those people who say they want to learn to paint and then continually tell themselves they can’t, or berate themselves because they’re not painting masterpieces immediately. It takes years to paint masterpieces. You will be lucky if 1 out of 6 paintings turns out just the way you planned. Do not compare your work with others. You are unique, your paintings will reflect that uniqueness. Each painting you complete will be good. For every one you do will increase your level of understanding. Allow yourself to grow and you will succeed.
On this website I have a page title "10 Things For Students To Know". Today I'm going to expand on the first two. The first being "Learn to paint by painting". Nothing teaches like experience. You can learn about painting by listening to others, reading books and magazines, and by watching teaching dvds and videos or taking classes and workshops but it is only in the act of painting that you learn to paint. As you struggle to achieve the desired out come for each painting your skill and knowledge well grow. Not all of your paintings well turn out as planed or be masterpieces. But I guaranty you will gain a better understanding of mixing colors, values, perspective, technique and your own style. Never be afraid to try something new. The more you push yourself and the more risks you take, the better you will become. So paint...and then paint some more.
