Welcome!

I believe anyone can learn to paint...but sometimes it takes a lot of practice. One of the best ways to learn is from the many free tutorials available on the net. On this blog I'm sharing my extensive collection of bookmarks of some of the best and most helpful tutorials I've found, both step-by-step and video demos, oil and acrylic, beginner and advanced.

For ease of finding just what you want, tutorials are sorted a few ways. Navigate by category-subject or by artist as shown below. Also, you'll find a list of keywords at very bottom of page for a more specific search....Enjoy! Mary
