What I'd Most Like to Learn About Painting

In this video, I cover a few specific things I would like to learn about painting and creating art. In a way, it's a wish list for 2026...but if I'm being honest, such goals are more of a multi-year process. I'm a self-taught amateur with only about three years under my belt, so there are a lot of concepts and growth areas to choose from here. Although I mention composition, mediums, and tools, I think if I had to pick one focus to receive more formal training/guidance, it would be on colors. Color mixing, color theory, how they interact; the entire painting package when it comes to color. The featured painting here is is my 269th overall, of a woman sitting with a bright light behind her.
