You are about to discover the fun and creativity that is found in painting. Whether you’ve never put brush to canvas or you’ve already created a few masterpieces, there’s something here for you!

Even if you’ve been painting for a while, we recommend you watch the videos in order. This way, you can see just how our helpful instructor, Laurel Daniel, teaches the basics and you’ll be better prepared to move to the next level.

You may already know some of this information, while other tips and techniques may be new to you. There may be segments you want to watch again and again while you practice right along with Laurel — all on your own schedule, and without the pressure of attending a painting class in person.

Again, welcome to the free painting lessons. We truly hope you enjoy this series and that you “catch the painting bug”!
