No artistic intention. I just love to paint.
I started painting portraits with oils in 2021 after spending a few months in the home office and desperately wanted to start something new that had always been on my bucket list. I suspect that so many people in this world have found themselves in a similar situation and started something creative during the pandemic.
My best advice about the process of learning to paint is this: get addicted to it. Paint as much as you can and progress is guaranteed. Practice makes progress, not perfect. And also find a community where you can show your work and talk about it with other artists. Of course Instagram is just awesome for that. It's also okay to start with affordable materials as you don't have to be afraid to use them.
