Things I Have Learned – LPT Episode #1

Greetings, dear friend! Welcome to the very first installment of the “Things I Have Learned” series!  I am so excited to document and share some of the many things I am so fortunate to learn as I journey through this life.

The subject matter will vary – I consider myself a pretty well rounded person – meaning I have a wide range of interests and hobbies.  I am also quite passionate about my work and continuing to grow in that capacity, so naturally some of the LPT (Life Pro Tip) items I share may be technical in nature. Some of what I share may be silly as I’m known for being a bit of a comedian at times. 🙂

I hope that the items I share help you, and I would love to hear feedback from you.  Also, if you have something you would like to share with other readers, please don’t hesitate!

Without further ado, behold this first installment!

Lightning/Storms

If you’re ever caught outside in a thunderstorm and you suddenly feel your hair stand on end, squat as low to the ground on the balls of your feet as possible. Place your hands over your ears and your head between your knees. Make yourself the smallest target possible and minimize your contact with the ground.  Getting struck by lightning has always been a big fear of mine (hopefully irrational)!

SaverLife

SaverLife is an awesome organization that will pay rewards to you if you meet your savings goals (as of 5/29/19).  It appears that they (“EARN”) are a non-profit and there are several useful articles related to personal finance on their website.  I signed up last year and received $60 from them over the course of six months.  Note: This is not an affiliate offer and I have nothing to personally gain if you sign up. Just some free money and great tools/educational material surrounding budgeting and saving for the future. Check it out!

 

10 Acrylic Painting Tips for Beginners

Hello there! I have been dabbling with paint for a while but this semester I took my first painting class. It is so crazy because I have taken a bunch of drawing classes but never a class that focused on how to paint.

In this video I’m sharing the tips I have learned so far from working with acrylics! These are pretty basic tips but these are things that have been really helping me out and I think they will help you if you are a beginner too.

Here are my Tips:

1. Buy Basic Canvases:
I like using canvas boards because it encourages me to go for and practice. I don’t feel like I have to make everything perfect because I didn’t spend a bunch of money on supplies. Also they are WAYYYYY easier to store in your home.

2. Create more:
It’s better to explore and experiment when you are first learning how to work with paint then trying to make everything look perfect right away. As writers like to say: write for the trash can! You are going to learn more and improve quicker by being less timid and more open. So go paint some train wrecks and you will eventually paint a masterpiece.

3. Try painting without Drawing First:
I feel like you might come after me with torches and pitchforks for saying this but… maybe give it a try? I know how you feel I am SO much more use to drawing then painting but just learning how to work with my brushstrokes at this point has helped me prevent making my work look too stiff.

4. Use a Bigger brush:
I know you little pencil artists out there like me just want to use a fine tip to get in all those little details… But if you start your paintings this way, it is a PAAAIIIN. Also working with a bigger brush to start helps you create more movement and brushstrokes. (also saves you from ripping out hair)

5. Use the Rule of thirds:
Now you don’t always have to do this but it does make the composition more interesting to look at. If my explanation didn’t make sense, here is another example: http://ift.tt/1hTNRXx

6. Buy Small Paint Tubes:
Now I know you are going to think I’ve lost my mind on this one but these little mini tubes have gotten me through SEVERAL assignments on my class. I did not think this was possible AT ALL. Paint adds up quickly, use these little tubes to test out what brand works best for you.

7. Use a gel medium:
I LOVE this stuff. I have had it in my art collection for a WHILE but I never really used it. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! It makes everything glide much easier and it keeps the paint wet. For only $2 it is a bargain. I wouldn’t recommend using this stuff for the first layer, wait till your 3rd layer. It makes the paint less opaque.

8. Use a Heavy Matte Medium:
Yes girl! If you have always wanted to add some texture to your paint, here you go. You mix this stuff with your paint and it makes it stand out on your canvas.

9. Mix compliments:
I use to HATE. I mean HAAAATTTE complimentary colors… so much. They just looked so repulsive and ugly to me. But when you mix them together, they neutralize eachother put and create these useful neutrals. These neutrals are great for so many things: shadows, skin. Basically anything you are painting from life.

10. Be bold and experiment with mixing colors:
When you are first starting mixing colors is super intimidating. However, you got to give it a shot. Mix colors you would NEVER think of mixing together. You might surprise yourself.

Those are the tips I have for you guys! I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did you can show your support by commenting and liking. I always appreciate hearing from you.

Happy Painting!
