Top 6 Easy Things You Should Paint as a Beginner Painter

 

If you’re new to painting, then you might be excited to try painting new things. From mountains to beaches to dogs, there are all sorts of cool things for beginners to paint.


Looking for easy things to paint as a beginner? Want to improve your painting skills by practicing on something doable? Here are some of our best recommendations for beginner painters.

Trees, Plants, and Other Simple Natural Features: There’s a reason why so many beginners paint forests and other natural scenes. They’re easy to paint even if you’re new to painting. Start by painting a plant in a pot. Or, paint a mountain covered in trees, putting minor detail into each tree. Pick your favorite tree in your backyard to paint. Or, paint a palm tree on the beach.

Abstract Shapes & Designs: You don’t need to paint anything to create something cool. You can paint abstract shapes and designs. Create hearts, cubes, stars, cityscapes, clouds, and other unique shapes or designs. Sometimes, the best creations come from letting your creativity flow.

Your Favorite Landscape: Maybe it’s a view from your favorite hiking trail. Maybe it’s a beach near where you grew up. Whatever your favorite landscape is, you know the landscape well – so why not paint it?

Cascading Mountains: Cascading mountains are a classic part of painting classes. Whether it’s a virtual painting class or an in-person wine and paint class, you can find cascading mountains and other mountain scenes at many classes. It’s easy to paint a line of mountains, and then continue adding mountains in front or behind.

Insects & Other Basic Animals: Insects may be the easiest animals to paint. They have defined shapes. You can see their shape upfront – it’s not obscured with fur. Insects are popular painting subjects for good reason. Painting mammals can be hard, so start with insects or bugs instead.

The Beach: You can create a basic beach scene easily. Put a splash of yellow in front of a splash of blue, and you’ve created a basic beach scene. Add a palm tree and other details to make it look even better.

Look around you. There are plenty of things to paint as a beginner, intermediate, or expert painter. As you grow more confident with your skills, you can paint virtually anything. That’s the magic of painting.
