What is Art?
Art is anything that stirs emotion in you. These emotions depend entirely on your history, your story, basically everything that comes together to make up who you are. Art has been around for thousands of years, and even though it has evolved, The reasons for creating it vary from person to person.
There is a lot of Artits that have created iconic paitings such as The Monalisa By Leonardo Davincii, Starry Nights By Vincent Van Gogh, etc.
Even though these are painters that passed away a really long time ago, they are still the inspiration of a lot of people who they seek to learn. This is because of good their art was and it surprises a lot of people even more when they know when these Arts were made, We are talking about paitings that are more than 500 years old. People just find these old artits really inspiring because they were from different times, meaning that: they had no cellphones, no Tv, no games, no distractions at all, everything was pure emotion.
A lot of people think that Realistic Paintings were the ones that started inspiring people, beacuse they were the most influential paintings At first, and now since a lot a people got into art they started creating their own style giving us stuff like: Pop art, Minimalism, Cubism, etc.
Even though a lot of people dislike these new Art styles (especially A.I.) I think they are just another perception of another humans perception, everyone sees everything differently and that’s what makes us interesting and different from others, A.I is also pretty cool but it would be really hard to replace humans in terms of “creating” especially when it comes to art because A.I has no soul.
Since Art is something that literaly anyone can make, only a couple can master it and they actually become experts at it. Of course this take time and patience, Patience its usually what people lack when it comes to this, their expectations are usually high and they expect to make something as good as a picaso, but things never work like this, especially if you are new to it.
Here are steps to get started!
Supplies Needed:
– Acrylic paints in a variety of colors
– Canvas, canvas paper, or another acrylic-friendly surface
– Paint brushes in different sizes and shapes
Painting Techniques:
– Start with simple shapes and subjects. Landscapes, still lifes, and abstracts are good beginner-friendly options.
– Learn basic painting techniques like blending, dry brushing, and glazing. Practice these on small canvases first.
– Experiment with paint consistency. Thin, watery paint creates washes, while thicker paint produces more textural effects.
– Try painting in layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next.Practice and Persistence:
– Paint regularly, even if it’s just for short sessions.
– Don’t get discouraged – acrylic painting takes time to master.
– Look at other artists’ work for inspiration, but focus on developing your own style.
– Be patient with yourself and enjoy the process of learning a new skill.

The most important thing is to just start painting and have fun with the medium. Acrylic is very forgiving, so you can experiment without worry. With time and practice, your skills will steadily improve.
