ADVICE FROM THE ARTIST Art is a complex and personal subject that can be approached and learned in various ways. However, developing a solid foundation in direct observation and representational painting can greatly enhance your skills in any medium. A great way to begin is by practising drawing and painting the objects around you. These subjects can provide a perfect opportunity for beginners to hone their observation and recording skills. Once you have mastered the basics, you can experiment with different techniques and media, allowing you to unleash your creativity and work with imagination and intuition. With dedication and practice, you can achieve your artistic goals, regardless of whether you prefer representational or non- representational art. Sketching and painting are enjoyable and beneficial skills that you can continue to improve throughout your life. I invite you to join our painting session, where I will be glad to guide you along your artistic journey. Through art, you will gain self- confidence and a sense of achievement, and learn to appreciate art in all aspects of life.
