What is the best tips you know on how to paint like a pro?

I want to start painting for a living, what is your best tips?

Let the paint dry between coats , putting wet paint over wet paint never covers very well , so be patient and let paint dry between coats.

To get taught by a pro or hire a pro.

All depends on the type of painting you're talking about... If you're talking about artwork, paintings and rawing etc, then my advise is to seek out an art group or class and go from there.... You can go to college to seek the type of art field you would like to follow they're see from your work which field you're more likely to follow... They'll also help you with perspective, colours, different techniques etc.... To paint like a pro is down to your skills and abilities, someone can show you what to do but it's all down to how you do it yourself.... This is the case is all types of work not just the artworld most careers....

If you're talking about painting and decorating for a living then you can go to college or work as an apprenctise, check out the local telephone book for companies and apply for a job.... The company should train you up on this and from there on you're have the skills....

Good luck
