Learning to paint and sketch is a lifelong goal for many. Regrettably it is one that for many people does not get fulfilled. There are various reasons why a lot of people would like to learn to paint but only a handful actually do. To begin with painting is hard. Of course the best artists make it look easy but your first few tries are usually nothing to write home about. Next just knowing how to start can be very difficult. Should you begin painting with natural oils or use watercolours? What should you paint and where? How much should you spend to start off with?

There are so many issues that it can be easy to feel slightly daunted and give up on your ambitions. Fortunately there’s help available to everybody who would like to learn to paint and sketch.
