Watercolour, Acrylics or Oils - The Honest Truth Nobody Tells You!

Is there really a painting medium hierarchy? … I'm sure you've heard it: Watercolour for beginners, acrylics in the middle, and oils for the serious artists ... If you've ever felt like you needed to earn your way up to a more "legitimate" medium, this one is for you. I'm sharing my honest take on the painting medium debate and busting four myths that quietly discourage beginner and returning artists … -Are watercolours best for learning to paint? -Are acrylics real paints? -Are oil paints only for advanced painters? -Can you mix painting mediums? If you’re choosing a painting medium for retirement, or picking up a brush for the first time later in life, it’s easy to feel you have to “start with watercolour” and earn your way up. You don’t. Whether you’re a retiree exploring a creative hobby or a returning artist of any age, the best medium for beginners is the one that excites you most, and this video will help you figure out which one that is. Whether you're comparing watercolour vs acrylic vs oil, wondering which painting medium you should start with, or you've never picked up a brush at all, you'll find practical advice for choosing the best painting medium as a beginner artist. ------- 🌸 READY TO TRY ACRYLICS?
