I don't know anything about painting. Which paint should I use? What do I paint? How do I make mine look like that? I am going to blame the school system for not adequately providing art education. It was scrapped for me after 6th grade. From the age of 12 onward, I haven't needed to take any art classes. So now that I am a 20-something I want to paint and have no foundation to do so.
Small Successes
Luckily, several months ago my husband bought me a Groupon to go to a painting and wine class. This has been something that I have been wanting to do for months. I have dreams of turning blank canvases into colorful and joyful works of art. And this September I was able to finally try my hand at it.
Takeaways
The first dab of paint on the canvas was the scariest. Having never painted on a canvas before I was naturally nervous but it became easier as I went. I now want to actually learn painting techniques and such. I had a blast and I highly recommend this as a starting place. Plus, you get wine. Bold wine, equals bold decisions.
