The Rose
To begin the accidental brush strokes painting:
Anyone can paint.
Everyone will find a picture.
Everyone will develop a pretty picture.
What should you do when you like your picture?
Keep it.
Will the painting get better if you don't feel finished?
Yes.
The size of the canvas matters. What do you feel like you can fill up?
Questions about starting?
The accident begins. You begin with the first stroke. Have you tried watercolors on paper? Have you taken an art class in school? You don't need to, but you can.
A rose bud blooming.
Basics about painting:
Have a palette.
Have colors.
Have canvas or paper.
Have brushes.
Have water jars.
Pretty simple.
Two phoenix plumes.
Start simply, if you would like.
Your canvas can be painted over with gesso, a primer, if you improve and would like to start fresh.
A table easel or floor easel is good to put your canvas on or, with backing, paper.
Put cover down on the carpet so it protects from drips. A flat sheet is fine. Another flat sheet goes over your dry canvas to store it. The table should be available for drips stains. Fun from paint.
