Why 90% of Beginners Get Their Paintings Wrong!

🎨 The truth that stings (a little… but it’s for your own good)

Let’s be honest for a second.

You pick up a paintbrush.
You splash some paint.
You look at your painting…
And then… 😐

👉 “Well… that’s still not quite right.”

Don’t worry: you are NOT alone.

👉 In fact, 90% of beginners fail at painting.

And no, it’s not because:

• you have “no talent”
• You’re “terrible at drawing.”
• or that “art isn’t for you”

👉 The problem lies elsewhere… and it’s much simpler than you think.

❌ Mistake #1: Believing that painting equals magical inspiration

Ahhh… the myth of the inspired painter 🧙‍♂️

You know, the one who:

• looks at a blank canvas
• close your eyes
• and BOOM 💥 → masterpiece

👉 Bad news: It doesn’t exist.

👉 Good news: it doesn’t exist (yes, that’s good news 😄)

Why?

Because painting (especially abstract painting) is NOT:

“go by feel”

It’s:
👉 making visual decisions

---

🧠 The real problem: you’re painting without a structure

Most beginners do this:

1. They choose colors 🎨
2. They’re spreading paint
3. They hope it works

Spoiler: It doesn’t work.

Why?

Because it’s missing THE foundation:

👉 Ingredients

🎯 Composition: The Secret Nobody Explains to You

It’s simple:

👉 A successful painting = good visual organization

In practical terms, this means:

• Where is the focal point?
• Where are you looking?
• Which area is important?
• Which area is quiet?

If you don’t keep that under control…

👉 Your painting becomes “visual noise”

And your brain says:

“I don’t get it… next.”

😵 The “All the Same” Syndrome

Have you ever experienced that?

👉 Everything is on the same level:

• the same colors
• the same intensity
• equal importance

Result:
👉 Nothing comes up

👉 So nothing interests me

It’s like watching a movie where everything is at the same volume 🔊
👉 You zone out.

---

⚠️ Mistake #2: Too many colors (the classic trap)

Now that… is THE classic.

You think to yourself:

“The more colors there are, the more artistic it is”

👉 FALSE ❌

In reality:

👉 The more colors there are… the more chaotic it gets

Why?

Because your brain loves:
👉 simplicity + hierarchy

---

✔️ What to do instead:

• Limit your color palette 🎨
• Repeat certain colors
• Create Key Tones

👉 Bottom line: less but better

---

🧩 Mistake #3: Wanting to finish too quickly

Want to paint a beautiful picture in 30 minutes?

👉 Sorry… but no.

A good painting is often:

• diapers
• adjustments
• corrections

👉 It’s a PROCESS

---

🔥 The moment everything changes

At some point, you have to accept a truth:

👉 You don’t make progress by “doing more”
👉 You make progress by “doing better”

And for that:

👉 You need to understand WHAT you’re doing

🛠️ 3 Simple Rules to Take Your Game to the Next Level

Want to make it into the top 10%? Here are the basics 👇

1. Plan your composition before you start painting

Before you even pick up your paintbrush:

👉 Ask yourself these questions:

• Where is my focal point?
• What’s the situation?
• Which area is breathing?

---

2. Simplify your table

👉 Fewer colors
👉 Less information
👉 Greater clarity

---

3. Creates contrast

No contrast = flat painting

Add:

• light / dark
• calm / energetic
• full / empty

👉 That’s when your painting comes to life

---

🎨 The truth that no one wants to hear

Are you ready?

👉 It’s NOT your equipment
👉 It’s NOT your talent

👉 That’s your understanding

And that’s something you can learn.

---

💡 Why You Hit a Wall (and Why It’s Normal)

Your brain is looking for points of reference.

But if you’ve never learned:

• the composition
• visual hierarchy
• the gaze

👉 You’re moving forward blindly

And of course…

👉 You’re going in circles

---

🚀 Good news: You can make rapid progress

Contrary to popular belief:

👉 Painting isn’t a gift
👉 It’s a skill

And like any skill:

👉 You can improve quickly with the right foundation, so I suggest you download my equipment guide and free resources:

• paint without a composition

• think before they act
• simplify
• control the gaze
