After all those videos and explanations, it's finally time to start painting! Today is the first day of week 1. The focus for this week is on painting and learning the different body postures for signwriting. Today you are going to learn your first strokes, plus you wil use a Mahl Stick and a palette.

These strokes are "technically" the simplest, but I gotta tell you... a lot of people struggle with keeping the same thickness on each stroke and getting comfortable using the Mahl Stick. If you have trouble with it, don't freak out! You are not the only one, and you will get better at it over time!

Just give it a shot today, okay?

Grab your workbook and flip to Week 1, Day 1. Then watch the step-by-step video below to learn how to complete it! To learn "How to set your palette" go to "Extras" and check the video.
