Many of us believe that magnificent, heart-stirring art is the domain of naturally gifted individuals – a skill that you're either born with or aren’t.

However, at Lisa Mann Fine Art, we subscribe to a very different paradigm. We firmly believe that creating meaningful, breathtaking art doesn't just have to do with natural talent or innate gifts. Instead, it has everything to do with cultivating courage, acquiring the right tools, and granting ourselves the liberty to express our thoughts and emotions. Essentially, when you allow yourself to be seen, your art comes alive.

So, how can a beginner artist create breathtaking art despite not having "natural talent"? Here's our guide!

Befriend Your Inner Artist

Artistic expression is rooted in our innate human desire for creative self-expression and communication. In every individual, there’s a hidden artist yearning to break free, eager to transform inner thoughts, stories and feelings into tangible forms.

Remember, you need not have the ability to draw like Michelangelo or create sculptures like Rodin. Art goes beyond physical rendering—it's all about letting your personality shine on canvas. So, allow yourself to experiment not just with techniques, but with various ways to express your artistic sensibilities.

Arm Yourself with the Right Tools

The next step is to familiarize yourself with the right tools and techniques. At Lisa Mann Fine Art, our self-directed online classes and other comprehensive approaches guide you through creating abstract paintings using oil and cold wax and acrylic paints, via step-by-step tutorials that you can complete at your own pace.

We also offer exciting intensive in-person retreats and hybrid classes, where we guide you throughout your artistic journey. No matter your skill level, there's a learning approach for you!

Embrace the Freedom of Abstract Art

Abstract Art offers you endless possibilities for self-expression. The beauty of abstract lies in its subjective nature allowing an artist's unique perspective and experiences to shape the pieces. Play around with color and texture and don't be afraid to lean into rich textures and patterns. Remember, there are no rules—only exciting opportunities to unlock your creativity.

Give Life to Your Art

Art is a reflection of the artist. When you express yourself candidly, your art takes on a deeper, more resonant meaning and engages your audience powerfully. So, let your paintings voice your emotions, your stories, your world. Embrace art as a vehicle for self-expression and dip your brush not only in paint but also in the heart of your experiences, your dreams, and your soul—watch your art come alive!
