I’ve found that the most important thing about learning to paint is having confidence. The best teachers I’ve had have empowered me and helped me to embrace the unique qualities of my work. Technique is an important part and can be very helpful but I’m interested in encouraging an intuitive approach. When you are working from your intuition, you stop worrying about right and wrong and you will have the confidence to let paint fly.
