“Painting is easy when you know how and I will show you how” Len Hend.
Painting should not be a laborious task. It should be spontaneous, like dancing; there is no need to compete when painting for fun or when learning to paint.
Paint for the pure enjoyment of watching the colors come off the brush and seeing the endless arrangements that you can produce when using these loose painting techniques.
The more you paint the more you learn.
You will learn with every brush stroke.
