first time painting

these paintings were for mother's day, my two grandma's and my mom. let me know what you think! 😊 if you have any tips for painting I would appreciate it <3

2024/5/11 Edited to

Painting for the first time can be a fulfilling experience, especially when it's for loved ones. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve, here are some tips to help you succeed in your painting journey. 1. Start with Acrylics: Acrylic paint is great for beginners as it dries quickly and is easy to work with. It can also be thinned with water for various effects. 2. Choose the Right Brushes: Invest in a few essential brushes, such as flat and round brushes, to add versatility to your creations. 3. Experiment with Color Mixing: Understanding how to mix colors can enhance your artwork dramatically. Try mixing primary colors to create a palette that's unique to your style. 4. Practice Patience: Art takes time, so don’t rush through your pieces. Enjoy the process and allow yourself to learn with each stroke. 5. Gather Feedback: Sharing your artwork with friends and family can provide new perspectives and ideas, allowing you to grow as an artist. By keeping these tips in mind, you can make your first-time painting experience enjoyable and meaningful, just like the heartfelt creations made for Mother's Day!

The time I started painting

I never thought I would be good at painting when I’m very bad at drawing.😂 My dad can do it all, he can paint, draw, watercolor, and digital drawing! I was always so jealous that he can make such beautiful things. One time he even drew me and gave it to me when I was a kid and I still have it in
