I really like the analogy of learning to play the piano and you can’t do that until you have been taught or practiced the keys, it makes sense to me that I have no clue about colour, or mixing paint or using different brushes and effects because I haven’t done it before. I’m itching to find the time to just mess about with paints but scared as well about being judged or compared. Very thoughtful podcast. 😀
Thank you Sue, so glad that came across you've got exactly what we meant... I can show you ways to help you mix paint (will do in Paint with Debs) but a lot of how you learn is messing with the paint yourself, playing... sketchbooks are great places to mess and you can keep them very private like a diary or do a painting with the idea its just a practice piece (sketchbooks is episode 4)... I do practice pieces sometimes, if anyone looks you're just messing but if they turn out then they're a painting 😘 x
