As the saying goes. Chop wood, carry water. Just repeat again and again.

I make at least one hundred images on paper before putting it on Canvas. I find that is what brings me success in my final composition.

I also collage some of my work so i can get an accurate impression of what i am making.

And then there are the days i go completely off tangent, as there is so much fun in the making and not over-analising or finding happenstance in a truely happy place. They are 2 different processes creating and analysis and should be kept separate, but how mighty is the end result.

A few years ago, I remembered that My First “Job” was always drawing & painting.
That was many Universes ago. Lately I didn’t exercise much.
So, I began to paint. I paint mostly Trees, and other little things to get warm again.
I paint the trees almost abstract, because I like full metallic colors in My Paintings.
It’s not a must, but I like to make use of them, in any painting, I believe.
I prefer those instead of mate acrylic colors. And to Me, it doesn’t look boring.
I don’t have any tricks or tips, because I am just at the beginning.
But I surely will share it with you here later, because I like Tiny Buddha Forums.
I thank Buddha for the Page, but what brought Me today here, was the Walk for Peace!
And I cried many times for this Walk already. 🎁

Learning to paint better often means studying reference images, step-by-step tutorials, and technique guides. I regularly save artwork examples and screenshots, then use image-totext to extract the written tips from those images. It makes it easy to organize brush techniques, color-mixing notes, and practice exercises without typing everything manually. It’s a simple but effective tool for artists who want to keep their learning materials well organized and easy to revisit.
