Tip of the day: Don't be in a hurry to determine your
painting style. This takes time. There are so many styles to choose from across the spectrum, from the very loose and
painterly, to tight and smooth brush strokes; from bright color palettes to neutrals; from large paintings to the very tiny; from abstract to realistic... It's difficult to choose what style suits you. Think about what you are most drawn to, what do you admire, what would you most like to spend time looking at? Think about your personality- are you pensive, sparkly, social, or more of a loner? Do you like to take your time, or do you tend to rush through things? Are you more analytical, or emotional? All of these aspects of your personality will play into your painting. They naturally come out in your work. The better you know yourself, the easier it might be to choose a style for yourself, but try your hand at everything you can! Enjoy the journey of discovering yourself as a painter, have fun trying new and differing techniques. You might be surprised by what you like to do.
Who knows, maybe you will paint the next Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci, or the next Blue Poles by Jackson Pollock?
