It is possible but it will be a very slow process since nobody is guiding you.

If you don't have a teacher, it is better if you can find friends with the same interests to paint together gether. Friends can motivate and give critiques.

And a teacher can guide you and push you to be better faster.p

I learned painting with a teacher almost 10 years ago. After 1 year of informal classes I stopped attending the class - at that point I was sufficient to paint on my own.

But after that I found painting alone was not that fun, and due to lack of motivation I hardly painted then.

Then this year I heard my teacher started a class after MCO bukak. So I contacted her to join her class. She said for what since I could already paint. So I told her my reasons, and I actually improved a lot after I attended her classes again. She is good with critiques and suggestions to improve a painting.

The feel of the painting process is different punya.
And of course the painting results are also different.

But if course you are right about being easier and cheaper to paint digitally

Congrats TS!
I remember reading your last thread on painting the Indian bride.

Great to see some interesting threads on kopitiam instead of the usual drivel.

Your painting sounds fascinating! I love seeing works that carry cultural or personal significance. It’s always inspiring to see how people express their ideas through art. As someone who enjoys painting, I can appreciate the effort and creativity that goes into creating something unique.

I also enjoy exploring other people’s creations for inspiration. One of my favorite pieces is about the kiss by klimt painting. Its use of color and symbolism feels so powerful, and it reminds me how art can evoke deep emotions and tell a story in a single image.
