Sketching is one of the most attractive and most imaginative ways to express our identity. The ability to create an image out of nothing more than a white sheet of paper and a pencil takes creativity and a vast imagination, not to mention great hand eye coordination.
So are you ready to get your hands and clothes dirty with oil paints. The only requirement to learn to paint and enthusiasm are what you need more than anything else. The steps in the creation of a painting are something that varies from artist to artist. It has to develop over time. I like to briefly sketch out the composition on a canvas, then block in the main areas of color right across the canvas, then gradually work on the detail. There’s no right or wrong approach; ultimately you must find what works best for you.
