A lot of people dream of becoming artists and actually follow through with their dream. Some of these people succeed and some of them don’t make it.
I will provide you with the core fundamentals that will guide you along your journey as an artist. You will learn how to build a portfolio, find a gallery and gallery representation, how to make money being an artist or if it’s best to go the studio route, how to display your work, how to find yourself in this crazy art world and most importantly how to live like one.
Art is art. There are many different ways of creating it, but the methods and techniques have been around throughout history. You can learn how to paint, sculpt, or draw just like any other skill, but it takes patience and hard work.
TIP 1: To be a good artist, you need to understand what art is. Art is much more than just a pretty painting or sculpture. Art is everywhere in our everyday lives even if we don’t realize it. A simple drawing on a napkin could be considered art. However, there are some fundamentals that every artist must grasp before they can become really good at their craft. In order for an artist to improve their artwork, they first need to know the fundamentals of drawing and painting. These fundamentals will then lead them into more advanced techniques in a variety of mediums such as watercolors or oil paints.
TIP 2: Practice makes perfect! It doesn’t matter what your skill level is in drawing or painting because anyone can improve at any time through practice. The more time you spend practicing the better results you will get in the future with your artwork. You can practice anywhere at anytime! For example if you had access to a sketch book and pencil you could always try your hand at sketching something while
Being a professional artist is not just about drawing, painting or sculpting – it is also a way of thinking and behaving that goes beyond the art. You need to be able to deal with criticism, rejection, and failure.
Art can be a very exciting career choice but it is also one that comes with a lot of responsibility and a lot of hard work. Because of this many people try to avoid the artistic field in order to avoid this pressure, but if you are truly passionate about art and want to spend your life doing what you love then you will have to face these challenges head on and overcome them.

“The best way to learn art is through the practice of art… if you are not an artist, it is unlikely that you will fully understand the nature of art, or be able to teach it to others. If you are an artist and you want to become a better artist, then the next step is to make sure that you have access to people who can teach you about art. This is not always easy, but it is crucial.
Trying to teach yourself anything has its’ benefits, but the most fundamental benefit of all is that it makes learning much easier. One of the reasons for this is that when you learn on your own, there are no teachers or critics around to tell you what’s wrong with your work. This can be great because it means that your ego doesn’t get in the way of your learning process as much as if someone else was constantly criticizing your work. However, this also means that you will probably never learn how to fix what’s wrong with your work.”**
There are many ways to begin making art, but I am going to suggest one way in particular that has worked for me. It is a process of trial and error and can be frustrating at times, but the reward is great.
The first thing you will have to do is to find a style or medium that suits your personal needs and interests. I recommend traditional methods of painting or drawing because it requires less knowledge about the technical workings of your subject. This is especially helpful to beginners, but even experienced artists sometimes find it easier to stick with what they know best. Your first priority should not be your style, but rather how you want the piece to look when finished.
The next thing you will focus on is learning how to use different media in your artwork. You will want to gain control over different types of paint and learn different techniques such as blending, scratching, outlining etc…
The third thing you will try is experimenting with different subjects. What you choose to draw or paint depends on how well it reflects who you are as an artist and what your message is through your work.
After you have learned all these things and mastered them go ahead and experiment with new styles and new mediums. You may run into problems along the way but that is part of the
Here is the first of a series of blog posts to help artists understand the art world from a business standpoint. This entry deals with how to approach galleries, and how you should expect them to respond to you.
Telling gallery owners about your work is one of the most important steps toward making your work known. So, let’s jump right in.
