Painting 99

What is the first step to creating a painting? For the most part, it's found in the thinking process. How you think and of course how you learn is the greatest single factor in any creative process. Except for those with natural talent or genius all of us must find our individual way by studying the different methods that others before us have found to be successful. King Solomon said "There is nothing new under the sun." so with this in mind I begin my studies. It's my goal to be able to apply something I've learned to a painting I do each day. Given my current schedule, it might not be possible to keep up with a painting each day, but I'll certainly do my best.
