Hi, I’m Camille Rowan

I write The Everyday Painter, a home for acrylic painting ideas and beginner-friendly guides. I’m happiest with a messy palette, a small canvas and a color combination I haven’t tried yet.

Acrylics are my favorite medium to write about because they’re forgiving, quick to dry and easy to set up on a kitchen table. That makes them a great fit for painting in ordinary evenings and weekends, which is exactly the kind of painting this site is for.

What I cover

• Painting idea collections for landscapes, florals, animals, abstracts and the seasons
• Beginner guides on supplies, brushes and preparing a canvas
• Troubleshooting for the problems that make new painters want to quit, like streaky coverage
• Plain-English comparisons, such as student vs artist grade paint

How I write

I try to keep things practical and honest. When an answer depends on the brand or product, I say so and point you to the label rather than pretending there’s one rule for everything. If you spot something that could be clearer, I’d genuinely like to hear about it at [email protected].
