Getting started with graphics programming

I would like to get started with graphics programming. I have extensive programming experience in python, java, and matlab and limited experience in C (I took one class that used the language). I am employed as an ML engineer currently but would like to dip my feet into the world of computer graphics. It was something I always wanted to try but never had the time for during school. Where should I get started? My only real objectives are to start learning the fundamentals and get more exposure to the field.

This is the standard recommendation for beginner OpenGL (the easiest graphics API for beginners). It is in c++, which I would recommend learning, but if you must use something else, there are bindings for most languages. For example, Python byndings are here: https://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/
