I am basically writing this blog to encourage you all who are waiting to start on painting. What you can see above is my first ever acrylic painting. here. I used to do lot of paintings when I was a school boy, about 20 yrs back. This is my first revisit to the field. I think I have done justice to the picture here.
Before starting I spent month researching into acrylic painting, reading books browsing internet etc. Believe me it doesn't give you much help. Main thing is YOU JUST START DOING IT. Until you get the feel you will not get the confidence. Once you start, things will start coming.
Bottom line is if you are hoping to start on painting go to the shop buy your stuff and start doing it. You will be surprised to see how good you are. I loved it and enjoyed. I am not gonna look back now.
When you buy the brushes buy soft quality brushes. When you buy your first set of colors it might help you to buy all in one packages which will have a palette, palette knife, varnish etc. Then it will give you a good safe start. Then you can build upon that.
Any advices needed, I am at your service
could you please recommend a good art supplies store in colombo where i can buy a complete set of paints and tools?
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice pic... and I must say it takes patience to work with both oils and acrylics... one reason I gave up, years ago! Glad you were able to reconnect with an old hobby!
