I like to paint. Painting can be fun for everyone. Here is how to paint. The painting instructions are:

1. Everything you do is an expression of yourself.

2. There are no mistakes.

3. Do whatever you want to.

You express yourself in whatever you do. You express yourself in your painting. You can paint and express yourself. Express yourself in your painting. Keep painting. You can get a picture. There are no mistakes in what you do. There is no wrong way to paint. There are no mistakes in your painting. There are no mistakes in what you do while you paint. You can do whatever you want to. You can do whatever you want to while you paint. Do whatever you want to while you are painting. Doing whatever you want to makes your painting look nice. Get out your paint tray and your paint. Put a number of colors on your tray. Paint the paint on the canvas any way you want to. Put your colors on the palette and use all of the paint. Use all of the colors and use all of the paint. Use all of the colors while you paint. If you keep painting, you can get a picture.

Paint the same way you paint your painting with lighter colors for a primer. Use light colors for a primer. Paint your painting, layer after layer. Layer by layer your painting will look better. Your primer, painting, and finishing touches can all be a layer. Paint your painting by doing whatever you want to. Put the colors on the canvas any way you want to. Paint the paint on the canvas any way you want to. Put all of the colors on the tray.  Use all of the paint. Use dark, thick paint. Highlight lines by making them stronger or bolder for finishing touches. You can make the line darker or thicker. You might want to define the line a little better with the paint. Define your picture a little better with the paint. Keep working on it until you like it. Add finishing touches. And buy some canvas. Just paint on the canvas. You don't have to make a drawing first. Keep it when you like it. Just keep painting. Just paint. Use all of the paint on the tray. Keep painting until you get something you like. Just paint. Keep painting. You can get a picture. See what picture you can get out of it. 

Use old jars to keep your water in. You can use mason jars, baby food jars, or old butter tubs. Keep your brushes in your painting water jar. This keeps them wet so they clean easily. Acrylics wash with soap and water. Wash and dry your brushes with a mild hand washing soap or dishwashing detergent. Put your brushes upright in a jar to dry. After washing the brushes, smooth the brushes out with your fingers, back to their original shape, this will help them retain their shape. Store your brushes upright in a jar. Mr. Bell, my Art class teacher, said, "Use an old toolbox for your paints, and you can paint it." Find an old toolbox to put your paints in. Paint the toolbox. Cover your paintings with a cloth or a sheet so they don't get dirty. Cover your painting while you are not working on it. Cover your paintings after they are dry. Do not cover them while they are wet. Cover your painting after it is dry and then take it out and work on it some more. Get a camera to take photos of your paintings. You may want to take a picture of a painting before you paint over it. Buy some black cloth to hang behind your paintings to take photos of. You may want to send the photos in a portfolio. Put a piece of black cloth behind your paintings and take photos of them for your portfolio or to send to an art school or a museum for hanging.

Try painting your painting without drawing a sketch first. Just paint on the canvas, don't make a drawing first. Try not drawing out your painting on the canvas. In Art class they teach you to make a drawing first; you can make a drawing first, and you may want to, but try it without a drawing first. Wait for the paints to dry and paint some more. Mr. Goolsby, a speaker in my Art class, said, "I painted in the desert. I had to spray a water sprayer and spray the air to keep it moist." Get a spray bottle and spray it. This keeps your paints from drying out. Spray a water sprayer to moisturize the room. Spray the paints with a water sprayer to keep them wet. Let the paints dry and paint some more. You can paint layer after layer on your painting. You can get primer, a painting, and finishing touches in your painting. use paint for a primer. Paint the paint on the canvas any way you want to. Try not drawing out your painting first. you may want to paint your painting on as primer, then paint it, then add finishing touches. Paint your picture on as primer. Paint your picture. Paint on finishing touches. Add finishing touches when you are through. Keep painting. Just keep painting. You can get a picture out of it. Do a wash of a lot of colors for your primer. Paint the paint on any way you want to.

Keep the painting when you like it. Keep painting and you will get better. Save your favorite paintings. I like to use acrylic paints. You can mix them with water like watercolors and they are thick like oils. you don't have to use turpentine like with oils to clean your brushes. Acrylics wash with soap and water. You can use black paint. Pick a spot to paint in, you don't have to have a whole room to paint in. You can paint in your bedroom or living room. You can use aluminum pie tins from the store for paint trays. You can use old pie tins for a palette. Blot your brushes on a paper towel. Use jars or old butter containers for water.  Use an old tee-shirt to blot with. It can be something nice to wear when you are through with it. Or you could get a tee-shirt and tie-dye it with splashing dye on it with a toothbrush and use a lot of colors. I tie-dyed on with two colors. You may want to try three or more colors. Gesso your unfinished paintings for fresh canvas. Gesso over paintings you don't want to keep. It gives you fresh canvas. You can get two or three paintings under a painting. You can gesso as many times as you want to. Gesso your old canvas or unfinished paintings for fresh canvas.

Use black cloth for a backdrop for photographs of your paintings. Take pictures of your paintings. Keep painting until you get a picture. When you get a picture, keep it. Put your painting away and cover it with a sheet and then pull it out and work on it some more. My Grandma sent a box to my brother with some brushes and instructions for cleaning them and he left them in my closet. I got the brushes and the instructions for cleaning them. This is how I started painting. If it is a light painting, paint on it until it gets darker. The light painting is the primer. The dark painting is the painting. Finishing touches should make the painting even darker. If you ruin the painting, gesso the canvas for fresh canvas and start again. Save your paintings when you like them. Frame them and hang them up. Hang up your paintings. Have an art show for your family and friends. Show your paintings to your family and friends. When you are through with your paintings show your paintings to your family and friends. This works good for painting. This works well sitting down with your kids with some cheap watercolors to paint with from the store. My Mom use to sit down with me and paint with watercolors when I was a kid. It works if you take painting classes. It works if you are a professional painter. It works if you paint a lot by yourself. This also works for singing and dancing. It works well for any art. Things included in art are: painting, singing, dancing, drawing, photography, acting, music, and sculpture. Take an art, singing, or dancing class. Anybody can do it. After the paints dry paint some more. Background: Rain. The reincarnation of a worm. Keep it when you like it.
