Painting style: find it, develop it, make it yours

Your painting style is a byproduct of your process, not a thing you pick from a shelf. Build a process that is true to how you think and work, and a genuine style comes out of it. Chase an aesthetic directly and you get an imitation of someone else's process. That one idea runs through every guide below.

Seven guides, each answering one question. Start with the one you are actually asking, or take the free diagnostic first: it reads how you currently work and matches you to the historical painter whose process is closest to yours. If you want the foundation underneath all of this, read what a painting process is.
