Painting courses can help you learn foundational techniques such as color theory, brushwork, layering, and composition. You can build skills in observing form, mixing pigments, and developing different painting styles across subjects. Many courses introduce materials, digital tools, or studio practices that support experimenting with textures, refining details, and creating expressive visual work.
