How do artists find their style?
While trying out something new, using different colors or composition techniques, it’s great for finding your artistic style! Painting leaves like this person over here does and using colors similar to so and so is essentially how everyone has developed their own artistic style.
How important is an artist to have his her own style of creating art?
However, it is very important that beginning artists focus on developing their own style, and find their own unique way of expression. An artist’s personal style usually progresses as the artist gains more confidence through experience, expands their database of knowledge, and acquires more skill with the materials.
Can you have two drawing styles?
Yes, it is possible for one artist to have more than one style, especially in drawing. Different styles are dictated by a lot of different factors – style can progress with age and experience, but can also vary depending on the medium or surface of the drawing.
How do artists develop a unique style?
Focus on painting well rather than on painting in a certain style. If you paint with some kind of consistency over a long period of time, then you will develop a unique artistic style. If you try to force yourself to paint in a certain style, then you may be crippling your progression as an artist.
Do you think technique is important in an artwork?
It helps us artists to have a cohesive body of work. That doesn’t mean though that your technique must stay the same your whole life. Some artists have various techniques at the same time, this is generally looked down upon by galleries and collectors, but then maybe they lack imagination.
Is it important to have your own art style?
Basically, the main reason why you need a personal painting style is so that people who do not know you could remember you through your brush strokes and in certain situations even identify other artists who are ‘like you’. The last thing you want others to remember you is relate your work with others.
Should artists take every opportunity that comes in their way?
As artists, we are often told to take every opportunity that comes our way. You never know who could be in attendance at that next gallery opening, what connections you will find at that event, or what could lead to future opportunities. But, sometimes, it’s less about saying “yes” and more about knowing what’s ok to give up.
Why am I always comparing myself to other people as an artist?
“They all point to an underlying fear of not being enough,” says art mentor and creator of The Working Artist, Crista Cloutier. “And, once you can deal with that underlying fear, the other issues fall into place.” Here’s the thing about comparisons: you are always going to be better at some things than other people, and worse at other things.
Are toxic relationships Holding artists back from reaching their potential?
“When are you going to get a real job?” “When are you going to grow up?” “Must be nice not to have to work.” “Must be nice to only work when you feel like it.” Artist and creator of The Savvy Painter, Antrese Wood, points to these toxic relationships as holding artists back from reaching their potential.
Are You Afraid of not being enough to be an artist?
There is never enough time, not enough money, not enough confidence, not enough of whatever it is at that moment to make or do what you need to do to be a successful artist. “They all point to an underlying fear of not being enough,” says art mentor and creator of The Working Artist, Crista Cloutier.
