In other words, if your painting could speak, what would it say? If you don’t know, then you are working blind. Also, this does not need to be some deep and philosophical statement. It could be as simple as…. “I want to capture the way light is bouncing off the river surface.” Acrylics are widely favored by those just starting out with painting as they are easy to use and do not require any special supplies.

God bless you!The supplies you get will vary depending on the medium you decide to go with. In a broad sense, all you need is:
