I started painting late in life and had to learn quickly to reach the level I aspire to. There are a few things that stand out as being vital regardless of how you paint and the sooner you'll learn them the faster you'll progress. In hindsight what I achieved in three years I could have done in one had I know them.
So for any beginners out there I've structured a lesson plan designed to improve your art immediately It's not a "how to paint a pretty picture" program but one that gives you the basic skills to paint any subject you like.
