hen we first start painting, we’re obsessed


with what materials to use and how to paint


specific people, places and things. We look up


to established painters; we have our idols and


want to paint like them. Life at this stage is all


about color-mixing and learning how to see and paint


values. All of this is good, but in order to move beyond the


basics, we have to learn the language of painting: drawing,


technique, the world of painting and the world of art. We


have to hone our skills until they become second nature.
