If you have some level of artistic talent and are looking for a hobby that is both therapeutic and fun, give acrylic painting a try! Acrylic painting really isn’t that difficult. The paint is easy to work with and it’s very forgiving. In fact, most people who start painting, do so with acrylic paint, as painting with oil is much less forgiving, messy, and takes a long time to dry. The biggest challenges you will face when you take up painting are deciding which colors to use, knowing how to mix, blend, and layer colors, and knowing which paint brushes to use. But don’t overthink it and don’t be afraid to make mistakes, you are not going to be perfect and you can always correct your mistakes. If the master artists aren’t perfect!
