artworkshopwithpaul Painting Tutorial Subjects are not random either – April 2024 blog post #2 of 6

Our tutorials are not random, they are carefully considered. We do not simply say “Today we will show you how to paint a flower”, or “Today we will paint a landscape.” For how can someone paint a flower if they do not understand the basics of their painting equipment, or comprehend the myriad techniques and methods that could be exploited, to make their artistic journey as satisfying as it can be?
Accordingly, our tutorial subjects are not random, they too are carefully considered.
We do not simply say “Today we will show you how to paint a flower and we’ve decided to do it in Watercolours – just because we feel like.”
We examine the method to be used in any complete box-set or individual video and decide on a subject matter that will best suit the techniques that are to be used for that method.
For instance, Series 3 of ‘Learn to Enjoy Painting in Acrylics with Paul Taggart’ was to be painted using impasto, working with texture paste; along with its companion box-set ‘Painting Topical Techniques for Acrylics with Paul Taggart’ – which is why we wanted subjects that had varied textures throughout, hence the main demonstration of a cockerel with his magnificent plumage, strutting about a garden pond surrounded by myriad plants and stones. And for the detailed, step-by-step, work-along Exercise, a still-life of shells on folded fabric.
