I'm interested in painting as a hobby. What are some common techniques?<|im_end|>

What is stippling?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Stippling is a technique where you create an image using small dots of color. The dots are spaced apart to create different shades and textures, giving the painting a unique look.<|im_end|>

That sounds interesting. Do you have any tips for beginners?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, start with simple exercises like creating basic shapes and patterns using stippling. Practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if it takes time to get the hang of it.<|im_end|>
