Hello beautiful people from the Hive community,
From the last two posts I am realising I have a lot more than I thought to talk about.
I feel like my plan is working:
Rather than thinking of what to talk about, I will just talk about what I am thinking.
I just made that up myself 🤣. I may be discovering a new skill of mine without knowing before haha.
Today I wanted to talk about something I have been trying to get good at but as usual, never know where to start.
As I said I am a very creative person (or at least I consider myself such as), and one of the creative things I would like to learn is to paint. In specific I have been interested in acrylic, abstract painting. I love abstract art. Some of the examples I have been in love with are like these ones:

These two are just a couple of examples of what I really like in art. I like things that don't make sense, that are chaotic but at the same time pleasant to your eyes and mind. I don't like a real representation of life. I like a unique and strange representation of what your brain is capable of expressing.
I don't want to show a lot more details in one post ... As I have so many ideas in my mind... I just need to know what tools to use and how to use them to execute them... And I am gonna need help from the experts in the room!
First of all.. without going further into what other things I want to learn and explore. How would you recommend me to start painting? I have watched some YouTube video tutorials (any good ones you could recommend) and tried to follow some of them... But the result was a disaster. I know I can't paint a Picasso just from the first stroke, but I want to start small and always do something beautiful even if it is just two strokes of colors.
I was considering also going to classes in person ... Maybe I should give this a go and get some direct advice from a professional artist in person.
Also financially I am not at my very best at the moment. It is quite expensive to buy painting materials and canvases, isn't it? Would you recommend some cheap packs for beginners?
