Perfect paintings and drawings can look lifeless. As an artist searching for perfection don’t miss the key ingredient to great art. The most important painting component is
“A magical picture that builds an atmosphere of life”
When creating an oil painting, an artist will add layer upon layer of paint. The canvas surface is no longer flat and dull. The finished painting will have a dynamic surface that builds interest and personality
“With a surface of texture and depth”
There is more to creating an art masterpiece. A painting has its own story. It has its own history
You don’t see the plans and preparations. There are the artist’s thoughts and ideas
* There are unknown preparatory drawings that add to a painting’s storyline
* There could be forgotten color sketches hiding in an art folder
* Old ideas covered by later repainting
Even if you are an artist who can create exact copies of what you can see, your painting needs you to give more
* Before your painting can become Art it needs feeling and understanding
* Your flair and expression gives your painting character
* Your time and dedication is needed for painting success
If you are an artist who uses photographs, paint an impression of what you see. Combine the background from one photograph with details from another to create new realities
* Add your memories to your drawings
* Tell a story with your picture
* Give your painting color
You can disguise drawing faults like poor perspectives with confident line-work. Active drawing permits you to disguise mistakes and lack of drawing skill when you work from real life
* With the sweep of your ink pen you can mask the slightly distorted vase of flowers in your still life drawing
* In pencil figure drawing, lively shading can hide body forms that are wrong
* A quick swish of charcoal will make trees in your landscape sketch move with the wind
* Sea wave power will be captured by a swirling dash of crayon
Easily improve your drawings by letting your pencil marks show. Leave your sketch outlines showing to add more interest.
Distinguish your original art creation from a machine produced print. Don’t hide your talents Let the painting process show through
* Allow visible brush marks to show the quality of your oil and acrylic painting skills
* Lift your paintings Add a splash of color to your paintings
* Use water to carry color in your flowing watercolor paintings
As an art beginner or intermediate painter take the lead from professional artists. Add soul to your painting and drawing. Don’t allow your art to suffer
“Let your personality and character shine through”
