Painters Tip
Where do you want to go from here? If you are a relatively new painter, you may be wondering where you want your painting to progress? It is a good idea to take the time to think about what you like in paintings and who paints the way you want to go.
I'm not talking about copying someone else's work or their style, but rather looking at a lot of different painters and choosing the commonalities in the works that you are drawn to.
You will start to discover consistencies in other paintings that are appealing to you.
Such elements like composition, color palette, texture, brushwork style, tonal or contrasty work, loose, somewhat detailed, or highly detailed rendering in a more illustrative style, cool or warm biased palettes, will all help you to know what turns you on to painting. These clues will shape the style of painting that you will eventually adopt as your own. Let me clearly say that I am not talking about emulating or copying another artist. I am talking about discovering what makes you tick and in what direction you are headed. There is a danger in becoming too impressed with another's work. I have seen many many would be Richard Schmids. He seems to be a popular artist to copy. It's great to learn from other painters but be true to what makes you unique.
