What's the best way to use our painting tutorials? We asked you guys, and you shared your strategies. Most of you watch the entire tutorial before even starting to paint. And while you're painting, you keep the tutorial playing so you can follow along. But we know some of you still find it tricky. So, here are a few more tips to help you out.
One of my students had a problem. They would start one of my painting tutorials, and then suddenly, they'd find themselves doing their own thing. It was as if they had no control over their hand and just painted whatever they felt like. They would lose themselves in their painting. They were worried about this and asked for help staying focused on the tutorial.
