By Frank Hamilton


No human creature can possibly live life without doing something that makes them feel alive inside. Life is made up of so many challenges and problems so it is important to find something that would make one forget of things that bothers them and stresses them out. One of most effective way to loosen up would be through art especially painting where the feeling that are not expressed through words may be translated to colors and shapes that mirrors either happiness, sadness, excitement, anguish and more. Subjects that are visible on canvas may vary but one of most common are Coastal Canvas Prints knowing how pretty and peaceful they are to look at.

Though people who has passion to such area are quite not given enough chances, it can not be denied how extremely talented they are. And so, other people that have not really tried doing such an activity but wants to express themselves are often curious how would it feel being there and doing it. Painting class can be of help for those who are interested but for self help purposes, below would be few tips that may help to start the new hobby.

Materials are everything when it comes to either drawing and painting. As an artist, make sure to choose medium that one feels comfortable using. So many mediums that are up for great use, all would depend on personal choice and preference, whatever floats the boat deserves to go have a try on.

For beginners, watercolors, acrylic paints, oils paints anything may be chosen. Watercolors are often cheaper compared to the other materials, this can cost as low as twenty dollars to a hundred dollar tops. Though, for such material, special papers are required, those that does not wrinkle when liquid touches its surface.

Acrylics dries pretty fast and is less messy. Paints like these are water based and they can get stack on the canvas that would quite seem like three dimensional. However, it can be wiped out pretty easy especially with water so being extra careful when using it is a musty. Sometimes, this are not that recommended for newbies because it is hard to manipulate compare to other materials. However, practice makes perfect so there should be nothing to worry of. Oil paints are the most expensive but they have rich shades and colors perfect for surreal arts.

And paints are nothing without brushes so it is as well important to invest on brushes with great bristle quality. Though, the fact that every medium uses different brush shall be bear in mind. For watercolor, opt into using some round brushes, for acrylic choose those with the synthetic bristle and for the oil paints, synthetic mix with fiber tip is best suited.

Now, begin with looking for any inspiration. It is best to start painting on something that is quite visible than of imagination. Go to places with beautiful scenery like beach, parks and so on.

The great thing about painting is that, one does not have to follow any rules at all. It is all up to the artist whatever stroke, color, shape that needs to be in the canvas. The most important thing is that it serves its purpose as an outlet of things and feeling that are way too hard to communicate using words.

But speaking of colors, one must have idea about the color wheel. That shall help in the mixing of colors to get the exact shade one like. There is nothing easier when blending using such technique.
