About Me
Hi, I’m Codi, the creator of Beginner’s Guide to Painting!
I started this site because I love learning about all things paint — from how it’s made, to how it works, to the best ways to use it as a beginner. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a passion for understanding and sharing what I learn in a simple, straightforward way.
When I’m not researching paint tips or working on new content, you’ll usually find me spending time with my cat (who has become the unofficial mascot of my painting adventures).
My goal is to help make painting feel approachable, stress-free, and even a little fun — no matter where you’re starting from.
