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
"An interesting picture will give the feeling of life"
The texture of the canvas adds depth to an oil painting. The finished painting isn't dull and flat. By building layer upon layer of paint an artist creates a work of art that has interest and character
"With a surface of texture and depth"
But, that isn't all that makes a masterpiece. The painting has its own history. There are background stories that help create great Art
There are thoughts and plans you can't see. There are ideas and preparations an artist keeps locked away
* With forgotten preparatory drawings
* Color sketches hidden in old art folders
* There will be re-workings that are scraped away or covered with later layers of paint
Even if you can copy exactly what you see in front of you, you need to give your painting more
* Your painting needs understanding and feeling before it becomes Art
* Your flair and expression gives your painting character
* Your painting's success comes from your time and dedication
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
* Create a storyline for your picture
* Use vibrant colors
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
* When you draw a still life picture, the natural sweep of your ink pen can mask slightly distorted vase of flowers
* 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
Leave your sketch outlines showing to add drawing interest. Easily improve your drawings Let your pencil marks show movement and growth.
It is the process of painting that distinguishes an original art creation from a machine produced print copy. Don't hide your talents
* Allow visible brush marks to show the quality of your oil and acrylic painting skills
* Add a splash of color to lift your paintings
* Use water to carry color in your flowing watercolor paintings
Don't let your art suffer as an art beginner or intermediate amateur. Take the lead from professional artists and add soul to your drawing and painting
"Let your character shine through and reveal your personality"
