I am late to the BigArtQuest, so maybe it is my BigArtPilgramage. Delighted and excited to be here.

I started painting again in summer 2019, following a 39 year hiatus. I haven’t painted since high school. I just never thought I was good enough to be a real artist, so I stopped. Going to some wine and sip events early this year, I rediscovered the joy that painting brings me. I’m doing this for me, and trying very hard not to judge myself through how I perceive others view me. For now I’m following online tutorials, and it is wonderfully stress free. Maybe some day I will resume painting on my own, but not until I relearn a lot. I used to paint in oils, and while acrylics are much more practical, they don’t work the same way. I have a lot to learn about this new medium.

I want to thank you so much. I found a bit of creativity I didn’t know I had. So what if I have to rewind( a lot!), but that’s the wonderful thing I take 4 times as long as most people, am learning to not overthink, take a step back when I think it’s a hopeless mess, and most of all, the process gives me so much joy and some semblance of peace. Those moments of sheer joy are rare lately and I’m grateful that you are a step by step, patient, and all around good and optimistic person. Your designs can emote a plethora of feelings, both with your outlook as well as your instructions. I am not one who can just paint or draw from an image in my head or from an actual image, so your step by step technique of teaching is just what I need. Thank you so much.

Hi! I love your painting technique and thank you for all your great advice that has made me start to be creative with paint. Not tried it til I hit 44 years of age and that was September so I am a newbie from the UK,
