Painting Tutorials: Help or Hindrance?

As a parent, I often find myself explaining "why" to my little boy—whether it's about drinking water or holding hands while crossing the road. But it struck me one day: without knowing why, how can he really understand its importance?

This realization is very similar to painting tutorials.

Sure, following along step-by-step tutorials allows you to create a beautiful piece, but often the moment you try painting your own ideas, things often don’t go as planned. That's because most tutorials focus on the what and the how, but skip over the most crucial part—the why.

Why Knowing the "Why" Matters for Aspiring Artists

If you’re new to acrylic painting or just beginning your art journey, understanding why certain techniques work will give you the foundation you need to confidently create your own work. The why empowers you to break free from rigid tutorials and unlock your full potential.

Without this understanding, you may find yourself struggling when you try to apply what you learned to your own creative ideas.

My Mission: Empowering Aspiring Artists with Confidence

In my online painting course, Learn to Paint with Confidence, I don’t just show you how to paint. I focus on teaching the why behind each technique so you can paint with intention and develop your own unique style. This approach not only builds your skillset but also gives you the confidence to paint boldly and beautifully.

So, what’s your “why” for painting?

Mine is simple: spreading beautiful colors across a canvas makes my heart sing! Let’s boost your confidence and start painting with purpose.
