Today’s Video Tip is all about no fear! Buck shows us his first attempt at painting. I love the story he tells us about his little daughter asking him how old he was when he painted that. Buck asked her how old she thought he had been when he painted it. His precious little daughter answered, three! Buck was 28 years old when he decided to become an artist. That is when he painted his first tree. We are grateful that Buck shares this painting with us because it shows us that if we want to work hard and be dedicated, we too can learn to paint like him. Always save your first painting! It provides the opportunity to measure your growth as an artist. Always be proud of your first attempt! It takes a lot of courage to decide to do something completely new. It takes determination to push past the beginning of learning new things. We fall, we get up! We fall again…and we get up again.

Anyone with a desire to learn to paint can learn to paint. That doesn’t mean they do it though. They have to have the desire AND the will to work at it. Where are you on your art journey? Is it time to get started? Is it time to take it to the next step? We can help! We want to help!

Today’s lesson is about having no fear AND being bold. The colors are bold and dramatic that Buck uses today, to create a magnificent sky.

Happy Painting!

Laurie and Dawn
