It is our belief that being an 'artist' is a huge umbrella that encompasses hundreds of art forms, not just painting. But since this is the 'painting' section of MyAT, focus is on painting.

It is our desire to minimize the fear some have about making a mark on paper, and as you can see from the definitions below being a 'painter' or 'artist' covers a wide range of possibilities.

Just to make sure we are all on the same playing field, I'm including a few definitions:

Paint-ing: n. 1. The process, art, or occupation of coating surfaces with paint for a utilitarian or artistic effect. 2. A picture or design in paint.

Painting: the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface (support base). In art, the term describes both the act and the result, which is called a painting.

Painter: an artist who paints

Artist: One who makes their craft a fine art
One who cultivates one of the fine arts - traditionally the arts presided over by the muses - now the dominant usage

SO, pick an instructor, choose a class and begin what just might be a journey into a new life!

OIL
Long considered the medium of the masters, modern chemistry has made oil painting safer and more fun! Water miscable oils eliminate the need for solvents all together!

WATERCOLOR
The choice of many beginners it is very easy to paint out of your pocket. Minimal materials and zero clean-up is often the reason many artists enjoy watercolor.

ACRYLIC
Better living through chemistry! A relative newcomer in the art market, acrylics can mimic watercolor when diluted, and oils when applied with palette knife. Brilliance of color, water clean-up.

PASTELS
A resurgance of a medium used by the impressionists gives us thousands of choices of soft pastel brands and colors. Improvement in the grounds used as support gives this medium its starring role amoung all mediums.
