I am a beginner at painting so how do I paint like the pros? First and second coat?thanks : - ]
PAINTING is a continuous learning process. you will learn something new every time you pick up a brush/roller. depending on how deep a color you are using will dictate how many coats you use. reds and yellows will need more than 2 coats usually. more coats give you a TRUE color. don't believe the one coat paint sellers. benjamin moore paints are the best!!! paint your ceiling first-white ceilings and trim will give the room an openness no matter how dark you paint the room. most important is to choose your color within the space you are going to paint throughout different times of the day and with your lighting settings. never carry around allot of paint in your bucket, especially on ladders-in case it drops or gets kicked... zigzaginteriorsinc-myspace
I'm assuming you mean painting your walls? Prep work is the most important part, taping baseboards, window edges etc and using dropsheets or plastic is a good idea too. I use a ceiling edging tool that has little wheels and you just dip it in paint slide it along the ceiling and you get a perfect line. I then do corners and edges that require a brush, then I roll. 2 coats are a good idea If you are talking about art, coats have little or nothing to do with it. There are layers in paintings but the procedure differs with the different types of painting you could paint. You have to enjoy painting if you want to be good at it, and definitely practice. Good work is sincere, cliches and triteness should always be avoided, the world doesn't need another bowl of fruit or horse painting. but that's just me. Good luck!
As a Thomas Kinkade Highlighter Artist and Bob Ross student. I would try performing one stroke technique. One stroke is not complicated and can look like they are done by a pro. make sure you use Acrylic paint and not oil. The reason being is oil takes months to dry and you can end up taking a year for one painting. Good Luck And God Bless!
First of all, a lot of pros out there can barely paint. Second - what exactly are you looking to emulate? If you want to paint abstract work like a pro, paint a lot and learn about your colors, how they interact, how quickly the paint dries, etc. If you want to paint realistically, paint a lot and polish your drawing. In my experience, folks who can draw well can also paint well. Very rarely will you see a person who can paint better than they can draw. If you want to paint ANYTHING, paint it. You need to practice. It will also benefit you to look at books on painting, and perhaps take a painting class. There is no need to go to art school, unless you truly want to go that route. The benefit to taking classes (at a community college for example) is to have someone explain - in person - how the different painting materials work together (what one medium vs. another will do, different ways to apply paint with your brush, what colors may look better together/mixed, etc). My advice is to invest in some nice brushes (your art store owner or salesperson can guide you) and invest in some nice paints (cheap paints are awful, but super nice paints are unnecessary - start somewhere in the middle). Use less expensive canvas and/or painting surfaces for your paintings. You can get creative and start buying expensive canvas or stretching your own canvas later on down the road. Enjoy painting!
