@sidwrites, if you can write well, I think that's as talented as painting a picture with color and line, you use words to paint pictures. Thank you🌸

Thank you!
And so true.
I love writing. I thought it was evident from my username. :)
Painting is something I used to do when I was school. My mom still loves it though. Wish to continue in my free time... someday! :)
Don't put it off, make some time❤️
Alright. What would be the best way to start... from the scratch?
I have a friend you need to talk to, in fact I have several friends here on Steemit that are art teachers that studied with masters. @chessmonster is so cool, he has books to recommend and knows his brushes and paper.
My daughter loves the bricks of paint, I love tubes. The blocks or bricks are easy to travel with if you like painting outside. Get your primary colors, yellow, red, blue, I love paynes gray for shadow work. some brushes, my favorite sizes are, 16, 10, 5, 1, and zero. @chessmonster can tell you or you can do a search on artist colors that don't react well with each other. I love phthalo blue, quinacridone red, cadmium yellow, the cadmium are toxic and have chemical reactions to other colors. I never use black for mixing and love white gouache for highlighting.
Also I love heavy paper around 300lb Hotpress which is very smooth, no need to stretch it, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. For the life of me I can't remember my favorite paper, I buy large quantities and don't need to buy for a couple years.
