I’m Chris Breier and I started this site so I could share what I’ve learned about art with others. Writing about art also helps me to distill my thoughts about my process and the techniques that I use.
I write all of the content that’s available on this site. I don’t use AI or hire ghost writers to make content for me. I frequently augment the articles with my own photos and YouTube tutorials to help make my demos easier to understand.
I have been interested in drawing and painting since I was a child and I currently make a living as a full time artist and creator.
The name “Draw and paint for fun” for fun comes from my attitude towards making art. Even though I do this full time, I always try to approach it with the attitude that I’m playing around and having fun.
For me, painting is a form of play and I think that’s one of the reasons why I still continue to make art.
