5 Platforms to learn Painting

Painters have the ability to bring others happiness, sharing their positive mindset with viewers. This skill makes painters better company for themselves and those around them.

Did you know that creating beautiful work through painting encourages a more optimistic approach to life? A painter starts by setting goals to advance their painting skills and become a more experienced artist. When a person reaches the next skill level, their achievement inspires a positive emotional reaction. Over time, a painter’s progress and skills deter negative emotions and provide pleasure and happiness for the individual. Painting boosts self-esteem and inspires people to reach new levels of skill.

 

The painting also produces a relaxing, open environment where artists feel safe to explore their own creativity. The reward of growing and expanding artistic skills creates a sense of accomplishment. Creating visually appealing artwork that others admire gives the painter a sense of pride and happiness in the work.

 

Playing around with different painting types can help you understand what triggers certain feelings such as happiness, sadness, love, or anger. Often, the emotions you feel while creating this work can project onto the people that view your paintings. Painters have the ability to bring others happiness, sharing their positive mindset with viewers. This skill makes painters better company for themselves and those around them.

 

While painting might not contribute much to physical fitness, the cognitive benefits to overall health are incredibly valuable. For people who want to learn this art, we have compiled a list of the top 5 platforms to learn painting:

Pinterest

Pinterest isn’t just for DIY projects and recipes; it’s a killer resource for all things art and design, too. Utilize their search bar to find everything from acrylic painting tutorials to learning specific drawing skills or basic artist resources. Because the platform is inherently visual, it’s easy to quickly browse through and find what’s relevant to you. Pinterest is also great for getting creatively inspired. I collect cool visuals in boards like TypographyIllustrationBranding, and Web Design. It’s helpful when one may want to reference ideas for a new project.

YouTube

YouTube has loads of video tutorials on drawing, painting, graphic design, you name it. The best part: it’s free! One can simply type in “learn to draw” and there are nearly 20 million results. Be specific with your keywords and you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect resource for learning new skills.
