If you’re just starting out on your acrylic painting journey, I recommend beginning with the Color Wheel, followed by Fiesta Pineapple. The Color Wheel gives you a solid foundation ... helping you get comfortable with your paints, understand color mixing, and see the beautiful range of hues you can create with what you already have.

From there, Fiesta Pineapple is the perfect, easy first painting. Its loose, colorful style builds confidence and eases you into the creative flow before you move on to the rest of the tutorials in this series. Together, these first two lessons set you up beautifully for the remaining projects, allowing you to grow your skills step by step while enjoying every brushstroke.
