Paint a painting

Don't worry about creating a masterpiece—just enjoy the meditative process of putting color on canvas. Start with acrylics since they're forgiving and dry quickly, and paint something that makes you happy rather than trying to be realistic. The worst that can happen is you create some unique wall art for your home.

“That analogy actually helped! I stopped trying to make perfect strokes and just went for it. The paint went on much easier than I expected, and within minutes, I had something that actually looked like a sky. The Relief: Seeing that first successful step gave me confidence for the rest of the evening. If I could paint a sky, maybe I could handle the whole painting.”
“I painted my my first art, and showed it to my mother. “mom look I painted an orange.” We had a laugh, “that’s anything but an orange” Will continue to paint... Never felt so relaxed.”
