When I made the decision to focus more on my art, I really didn't have a particular style. You might say I was "all over the board". I tried many different techniques, and looked at piles of images online, read hundreds of tutorials. I truly feel that is the only way to find the style that suits you. Trial and error, waste some paper, waste some canvas and paint. Looking cloesely at the art that appeals to you, what calls to you, what inspires you...
Eventually you will find that perfect combination that sets you free and allows you to continue your creative journey along a path that is uniquely your own. Keeping in mind that every journey, even into uncharted regions, begins with preparation, planning, practice and on paved roads... Until next time, enjoy!

I know what you mean about finding your own style. It's a long journey but when it clicks....ooh! It feels so good. Your painting is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a long journey, isn't it, Lynda. But so worth it! Glad you like my painting. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteSo true about finding your style! These paintings are fabulous! The dragon has such detail for such a small size!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carolyn! It is quite a challenge to work so small...glad you stopped by!
DeleteI love your dragon. Your inchie has a nice background. Have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteI use old book pages, in this case a copy of Romeo and Juliette in German, over watercolor paper. The color is acrylic paint...Glad you like my dragon, Trillion!
DeleteYour style is developing beautifully! I am in awe how quickly you are progressing!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem quick to me, Janet, but I am so pleased with my progress! Thanks much for your kind words...
DeleteYour dragon is magnificent. I lov e him.
ReplyDeleteAh, MorningAJ, this one was a breeze! You see, my very first art, when I was in elementary school was dragons and fairies and anything fantasy! This was like coming home. :-)
DeleteI am still exploring - great post!
ReplyDeleteLove your dragon!
Me too, Beverley, that is both the beauty and frustration of being an artist, don't you think?
DeleteI agree about finding your working style by working. :) Awesome dragon.

Thanks Henny, I will come on over and take a look! I already do an ATC trade every month, so I am not sure if I am ready to take on a new trading venue, but when spring projects slow down, I can give it a try! Thanks for the invite, and the comments. Glad you stopped by!
