The first step into the art world is to figure out where your passion lies. What medium interests you? What kind of work do you like to do?
Is it Acrylic? Oil? Watercolor? Pick one or pick them all, and make it mixed media.
The next step is to buy some supplies. I’ll give you a short list to get you started
- white and black pen
- white acrylic paint
- black acrylic paint
- art journal (watercolor paper)
- paint brushes
- acrylic paints (blue, red, yellow- cool and warm versions of both)
- watercolor palette
- metallic watercolor palette
- oil paints
- palette knife
- stencils
- gesso
- modeling paste
- stamps
- pigment inks
- Tim Holtz water based inks
Once you purchase these items, you can get started. PRACTICE!!! Keep practicing until you improve.
After you get better at it, try to sell your art. Try to teach art to others for a small profit or sell your work on the side.
