I teach a class in Atlanta "Art for Non-Artists" for absolute beginners and in one day students learn basic wc techniques and we do a step by step landscape to see how to put the pieces together. So it is possible to start with landscapes- just keep it simple- work light to dark, big shapes to small and that should keep it easy. Not the only way, but one that works pretty well. Good luck and have fun!Pat Fiorellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178132860124961415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288537628667197027.post-58052432613353992732012-10-08T01:20:49.270-04:002012-10-08T01:20:49.270-04:00Okay, i have absolutely no experience in painting,...Okay, i have absolutely no experience in painting, I did paint a few times but they were not really good, and most of them are fashion illustrations.<br /><br />I would love to start painting landscape as I recently began to miss some countries I've been to.<br />Do you think a beginner which has totally should start with painting landscape?<br />Is it a tough subject? Or should i start with something like fruits? But that's boring :(<br /><a href="http://www.growlandscapes.net/" rel="nofollow">Landscape designer virginia</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642362173232828779noreply@blogger.com
