Definitely @Liandro - I'll add it to my ever growing list.... I never thought that one of my biggest problems would be managing to prioritise the hundreds of learning resources available to me - if I watched everything I was interested in there would be no time to do any art! I'm currently working through some resources on the NMA website by Steve Houston which are just brilliant for beginners - I'm learning loads about colour theory and the Brown School v The Impressionists and how and why they are different - I think this is fundamental stuff that is easy to miss - attached a couple of value studies that I'm pretty pleased with...

Could you tell us more about those color studies? What's the procedure? And what specifically do you learn about color by doing them? I need to work on color so I'm interested in color exercises.

do you think an understanding of art history actually enriches your practice? I come from a time where my tastes are formed largely from current artists on social media.

Could you maybe explain the "dry brush" method you mention a bit more? Do you also scrape off paint or work with pallete knifes on the canvas?

("E" "Stone" "hi") If short on questions, curious what Aaron would use rather than cadmium, especially for cad red alternatives.

Yeah, that's why I asked about Pyrrol Red (PR254). It's a nice paint to work with.

Hello, Stan and Aaron. I wanted to ask how would one begin their initial painting? What are somethings one should keep in mind while painting ? Is there any prep one should do before painting ?
