Things Every Artist Should Know

Things Every Artist Should Know

Recently I posted a video on my YouTube channel

talking about 5 things every artist should know.  

Every Friday I am going into more depth on those 5 things.  

Click HERE to see the original video that started all this.

Week 1 was understanding color theory.  

Click HERE to see that blog post and video. 

One thing about understanding color theory is,

you will NEVER learn it all.

Don't stress!

It's a big subject and you will always be learning about color.

Week 2 was Practice, Practice and PRACTICE

Click HERE to see the how and why to practice.

Practice is critical to improving your skills.

Art isn't just talent.  It's also skills.

Skills can only be improved through practice,

just like playing the piano or shooting free throws. 

  

Week 3 is this week and the topic is one thing that can really de-rail your art journey.

STOP comparing your beginning art to someone else's

 20th year of creating art.

It's not fair to you because it sets you up for failure.

You didn't start painting to fail, but if you are comparing what you can create now to what someone else can create after being at it for 20 years,

 I'm pretty sure you will stop creating.

It's not fair to us, because you may never create

 the great art that is in you.
