HOW TO BECOME A FAMOUST ARTIST
-It does not matter kind of painting or graphic techniques you
use.
-By painting oil is the easiest to use.
-Talent is undoubtedly the biggest, but no the main factor.
-A good and up to date concept is decisive factor in creating your artworks.
-Bad critic is in most cases a positive critic.
-Try to be as much eccentric a you can.
-Don't mind critic and unpleasant statement from eccentric "art" activists
-Attend Art Collage, Art School, or take some private lessons.
Even if you dont't like realistic stiles, it is very important to study the human anatomy. Picasso creaates '"childish human form", but he prossesses perfect knowlwdge of the human anatomy and that makes him Picasso.
-Who you know, is a very important factor of success. Of course most of the really good painter and artists are not the most social people in the world, but please try to make contacts, be social, in most cases the help and the best solutions came from friends of friends.
-Something which should motivate you is the phrase: "The best artists are made, not born".
-Invest as much time as you can in your art initative. Take your time, concentrate on your work. Very few famous artists were hobby painters. If you practie it as a hobby, you can forget it! If you feel it strong enough, you will probably sacrifice everything in the name of art. Once again ambition is most the main factor but hard work is one of the main foctors.
-Travel as much as you can and can afford.
-Visit as many museums as you can.
-Take notes when you visit a museum. If you like an artworks, just write down the name of the author and study his biography and work. Try to get as much as you can from brochures and books.
-Read as much books as you can, most of the famous artists are well educated and well-read people. Nevertheless classic literature will influence your ideology.
-Take your time to explore the internet, find suitable galleries for your artwork and apply to the best art galleries online, or by the traditional way.
-Visit public events and try to make contacts.
-Create accounts in online sources. Very important! Nowadays
internet plays a very important role.
-Please dont cut your ear!
-If you don't live in a big City, try to move to one. Most of the galleries and considersble.
-When you create, never forget, that less is more. Try to be as minimalist (especially nownayss) as possible.
-Be unique.
-Be your self. When you create, try to be your self,try to be unique, create something special.
-Expose your art, dont be as ashamed, if you feel it, show it, if you are sure, you are going to make it. Believe in your self.
-And once again Ambitition is almost the main factor.
