I just wanted to say "Hello", I am both new to the site and new to painting. I picked up a paintbrush for the first time in my life at the beginning of March and I am completely hooked. I have finished a handful of pieces which I have posted and would very much welcome your feedback. I have a trillion questions as I have not the faintest idea what I am doing. I have been painting in acrylics so far, as that is what we have in the house, but would love to give every other medium a go too. The biggest thing I have learned so far is that I really love painting. Looking forward to learning from all of your expertise. Thank you in advance.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

If you painted your own avatar picture, we should be taking tips from you!  Welcome to the site, and ask whatever you like - someone will have the answer.

Welcome to the forum and POL in general . I’m sure you will gain a lot from asking questions on here as everyone is friendly and always try to help. It’s a bit scary when you first post things in the gallery as your not sure of the reaction, but don’t be scared and get it in there , we all love looking at other people’s stuff. I’m just going to have a look at your postings now.

Thank you. Such lovely comments from people who are clearly talented and experienced. It means a lot to me. I never considered I had a style, I just paint things I love and hope that shines through. Thank you for the welcome.....feeling slightly embarrassed.
