Painting is one of the most accessible mediums if you want to get into painting – the materials aren't too expensive and you can create beautiful works of art.

Either way, this list of easy painting ideas for beginnersto help you create them—will get you out of your head and started on your next masterpiece.

Many of us are drawn to paintings with lots of unique shades and complex patterns. It’s natural to want to challenge yourself and go all-out on your first painting, but every beginner has to get the basics down first. You’ll need to build up your mixing and blending skills gradually.

So, our first tip is to opt for paintings that have a relatively simple and straightforward color palette. Stick with primary colors and choose paintings that offer the opportunity to ace simple mixing, blending, and other painting techniques.

Beginners who are eager to try painting for the first time can have heaps of fun with easy geometric patterns and gain confidence by focusing on large subjects. Intricate paintings can be very time-consuming and difficult to get right, while small, finely detailed subjects can also present a challenge to a new painter.

For a creative challenge that is suitable for novices, you could opt for a simple, cool geometric pattern using tape and lines, or go for a close-up of a large object in the foreground. From pieces of fruit to household items you see every day, you can use color and creative flair to bring “simple” objects to life.
