How can I start painting?
How did you started painting?? What was your history that motivated you to be a painter… It all started when I saw mona lisa painting.. but it didn’t appealed me much.. but then i saw impression, sunrise by claude monet and poppy field over argenteuil. There’s so nice.. But then what really motivated me to pursue painting as a career or just a major hobby is that when I saw surreal paintings. At first it was kinda disturbing.. I really don’t know.. It made me afraid but then I kinda get grasped the meaning of it.. Like the persistence of memories and i think the man with a green apple infront of his face… It really was disturbing when I saw it first.. But then I found out that there was more something to it……
Im 16 by the way… is that late to start painting??? What does one need to paint and is there individuality or it conforms to the norms and rules of painting?? Just like music..

I was only 14 when I got the bug. I used to make model airplanes and that’s all I had on hand when I saw this painted frontispiece in a book called ‘Robinson Crusoe’. I don’t know why but the brushwork in that painting grabbed me and I took my airplane paints and a page from a school scribbler and made my first painting copying that painting of Robinson Crusoe. I stopped making model airplanes and took up painting but it wasn’t until I got proper instruction that I felt like I knew what I was doing. You need a good teacher and you need to know the rules. I recommend you enrol in a night class and question everything.
Good luck.

I began painting when the brush was attracted to the colours of the paint and wanted to settle themselves on to surfaces; such as canvases. In simpler terms, I started to paint when I first recognized it as an interest, to later become a passion.
I’d say that art is a vocation. It makes a calling to you.It is not a profession, unless it is a way to maintain a job, and not for thoroughly creative (soulful needs) which ache for manifestation.
This art is known as the Fine Arts.
There is a testimony given by Winston Churchill that when he was "stressed out" during the most difficult times of war, he’d try to discover something to do in order to be relieved. This came about when a very fine painter friend of his approached him, rather assertively and suggested he’d accompany her on a painting excursion, which he did.
They separated and painted upon a large field – the painter ambitiously attacking her very large canvas with self confidence – while Winston was terribly of his intimidatingly large canvas.
After a number of hours, the painter returned to Winston and asked him why there was ONLY a bee-sized mark of colour on his canvas – to which he admitted his fear to progress.
The painter, hardly impressed with such a weak answer told him firmly to "JUST PAINT", and this he began.
After a while he realized there was nothing really to be so intimidating about painting, and to this day, if you Google his paintings, you’ll discover he became a very competent – even good painter, and a colourist as well.
So, just pick up that brush, dip it in the paints and set it down upon the plane of your choice.
No, 16 is not too late to begin painting.
Would you ask; "Is 16 to late to begin living?"
Of course not – neither is it too late to start painting!
Good Luck.

I just began painting at the start of this year and I’m 16. And I have to agree with you. Traditional art never really appealed to me, however. I just figured "oh that person could draw quite nicely, but I’m not especially interested." And I entirely agree with you regarding surrealism. There’s this painter Alex Pardee who does a lot of band albums and such and when I first saw some of his other paintings I was really disturbed. Not to lie, I guess I sort of still am weirded out but in a curious way. He’s a fantastic surreal artist and partially has some responsibilty in why I ever started painting. I’ve never done anything quite as strange as he has though heh, but I still appreciate it. I think the only thing one needs to begin painting is a reason. I’m not into rules and regulations and I just literally throw paint at the canvas. I’ve noticed that the more I paint the more I begin to see images. Like as a picture. My chemistry teacher, for instance, said the words "Head On Collision" and I saw a picture. It was strange but great. I think as long as you have the inspiration and, of course, supplies that’s all you really need.

I was way older when i decided to teach myself to paint, up to that point i was just drawing as a hobby although out of curiosity i was always checking out library books on painting. My brother and a friend of mine were already painting and after checking out their work one day i sort of decided i would give it a try. The books or art magazines i found most helpful are those that explain the tools/medium needed and how to use them, material that cover artists and their techniques, and any books that cover the basics of painting (composition, color, color mixing, etc.). There are no rules in painting there are only guidelines and individuality is based on the persons style that develops over time with experience as well as subject matter. I am a traditional oil painter and my work can be checked at hellosanantonio.com under artist name GUERRO1.
