The Love of Arts and Crafts Changed US !!!!!
We engaged ourselves in designing, drawing portraits, mural painting, and a lot more. Although this just a hobby to some, engaging myself in art is beneficial for me. In times when I experience anxiety and depression, painting allowed me to understand myself more. I tend to ask myself and examine what went wrong, what did I do wrong, and whether or not I responded ethically and morally. It was as if the paintbrush allowed me to dive into my inner being.
Every stroke that I make, the level of my anxiety decreases.
Here’s what usually happens when people want to learn to paint:
They choose a teacher from the thousands and thousands available. Join a course. Then they end up painting ONLY what the teacher paints, and ONLY the way (the style) the teacher paints.
So when they finish the course or workshop, they find they cannot create the subjects they want to create, nor are they equipped to paint those subjects the way they want to.
So they choose another teacher, hoping they can get a bit more info in how to achieve what they want. The same thing happens. They learn only what that teacher can paint, and how that teacher can do it.
None of this artists-to-be can ever create to their satisfaction, although some are content with their amateur or hobby-quality results and of these most don’t know the difference between that hobby quality and the vastly superior satisfaction and power of professional quality painting.
Perhaps ironically, but certainly true in practice, it is far easier to paint with advanced, professional techniques than it is with basic, hobby-quality techniques because you are using the right tool for the job. Unfortunately, many do not know this.
So basic paintings are produced all over the place, with those going on to also teach those basic techniques.
Poor knowledge = poor quality paintings = poor teaching = poor knowledge and so it goes, in a cycle.

There are two courses. What do these do?
Each of them teaches the 12 techniques. The artist learns them as they create sophisticated paintings.
It is very, very easy to learn. If you want to see how easy it is, please let me know and I’ll give you free access to a course, for a month or so, so you can live it and feel it for yourself.
The difference an artist feels, and experiences, in being able to use all 12 Techniques is the same as someone feels in composing sensational music or songs, compared with composing “Three Blind Mice”.
I have witnessed time and again people bursting into tears upon the realisation they can achieve magnificent works of art.
There is no mystery. “Talent” is misleading and is often the scapegoat used to describe why some paint brilliantly and most don’t. Most don’t because they don’t have the technique toolkit to use.
It’s all about technique. Get the techniques, you can do it too. As an artist you don’t have time pressures as you do in music. Just take all the time you want. You can make mistakes and go over them, fix them, which you can’t in music, and you can have a break and come back to the work, which you can’t in music.
Creating sophisticated works of art is the easiest of all the arts.
