Mark Liam Smith
Hi! I’m a colourblind realist painter dedicated to helping you learn to draw and paint. If you’re into drawing, you’ll find some helpful how-to-draw videos that will build your skills and your confidence. If painting is more your thing, then you’ll learn color tips and discover various paint techniques — and, of course, learn to paint a range of different fruit, flowers, and other still life staples.
If you like my tutorials, please consider becoming a patron at patreon.com/markliamsmith for access to exclusive drawing and painting tutorials (and lots more).
About my colorblindness: I've learned to compensate for my colorblindness by mastering color theory and developing a unique approach to color. If you’re not colorblind, my approach can complement your understanding of color. And if you are, then hopefully it can give you the confidence to paint in full color and come to view your colorblindness not as a weakness, but rather as a strength.
