How To Get Started Painting in 2025
If you’ve thought about learning to paint, then let’s make 2025 your year. This video is all about how to get started painting in 2025.
I’m not sure why it’s scary to get started painting, but it is. I think it’s because we’re afraid we won’t do it right. Although there is no “right way”, but for whatever reason, we fear getting started.
In this video I’ll show you exactly what you need to get started, what it should cost approximately, and what you don’t need.
Don’t let fear stop you from learning to paint if that’s what’s on your mind and in your heart for 2025.
I’ve always said that learning to paint is like learning any other type of skill, like playing a sport, playing an instrument or learning to dance. No one is good at first but with consistent practice you will see improvement and over time you will be learning more and improving more.
Here is a list of links if you need to purchase art supplies. I put this together because I know how daunting it is to go into an art supply store and have the deer in the headlights reaction. I was so there over 20 years ago and I purchased things that first day that I still haven’t used because I bought things I didn’t need. I would like to prevent that from happening to you.

You don’t need to purchase a water basin. I’m sure you have a plastic bowl or large cup you could use for a while. The same thing goes for the spray bottle.
You could use an old shirt in place of an apron.
