QuestionHow do I start a picture?Community AnswerAny way you want! Some people prefer to carefully plan their picture before they get started, for example by sketching it up very loosely in pencil before starting to apply color. Others like to just go for it without knowing how the picture will turn out, to just create intuitively. If you have little experience with painting, don't worry about it! It takes some time to figure out your own creative process. Just experiment. Most importantly, don't take it too seriously. It's okay to make mistakes and painting should be fun.

QuestionHow long does it take to paint a picture?Alyssa DetwilerCommunity AnswerIt depends on your skill, how realistically you are painting, and what you are doing. If you are like me, a perfectionist when it comes to painting, you may take several hours. But there are some professional painters, like Bob Ross, that do an amazing landscape in just 30 minutes.

Questionis there any means of doing abstract painting without been taught?Rosie V.Community AnswerYes! That is the point of abstract. You don't need to be taught, you don't need to be a pro. You can just paint what you feel looks good and what your heart tells you to because it isn't meant to be anything specific.
