Here is my suggestion: Learn the tips and tricks the teacher is putting forth. Practice their techniques and then adapt that to your own style. Look at this photo from my most recent class. You will see that not everyone painted "just like me".
It is a struggle to gain and feel confidence in painting. There is always the thought, when you are just learning, that the teacher is the best and you want to paint just like that.
Here is my suggestion: Learn the tips and tricks the teacher is putting forth. Practice their techniques and then adapt that to your own style. Look at this photo from my most recent class. You will see that not everyone painted "just like me". "I think many people take for granted what artists make and how important art is is everyone's life. I once said to my daughter when we were in a grocery store, "Imagine all the boxes without graphic artwork on them, What would the store look like?" I then said, when we were in the cereal aisle, "Think about the contents of all these boxes and what it would look like if the contents were exposed. Everything would be a shade of brown." When you take a close look at common objects in your home, you need to realize that some artist took the time to design practically everything you own, from your toaster to your teakettle to your hair dryer. Art makes life more fun and beautiful." William Kluba
