	A gentle introduction to detail and technique. The projects for this level were carefully thought out with the beginner in mind, and can help give your confidence a nice little boost.

Their petals and leaves come in all shapes and sizes, making them easy to imitate. Best of all, nature is not perfect. If you happen to paint a little too big or a little too small, only you will know. Still life's are also ideal. Somehow the mind processes subjects that do not move as easier to paint then subjects with movement.
