Many people know they want to be artists from an early age, while others discover their vocation later in life. In either case, they have a strong desire to advance in their artistic development. But it is never too late or too early to dream of becoming an artist and no need to be embarrassed of starting later than others. So let us look at some tips to guide the aspiring artists in BC as well as artists elsewhere along this crafty journey.

Some tips for guidance

Believe in yourself

The more pressing question is: Do I have the motivation to improve my skills and put my talent to good use? Talent gets you in the door, but it’s technique and perseverance that get you noticed. Even if you don’t feel like it, you must show up and put in the effort.

Take Advice From the Best

You will progress faster if you study among people whose work you admire.

Work on improving your skills

Fewer rejections and faster acceptances into galleries and competitions will result from honing your technique. If you can’t control your materials or draw well, it’s difficult to express yourself. You can become a skilled artist with appropriate instruction and three to ten hours of practice per day for four to twelve years.

Remember To Be Humble

Don’t get into a squabble with your professors. Pay attention to what they have to say; consider it a contribution rather than a critique. They’re there to assist you.

Work on your art outside of class

The transition from student to artist will be smoother as a result of this. Students that excel work on a weekly basis rather than once a week.

Focus on your passion and be true to yourself

Take what you’ve learnt and turn it into a series of pointers: keep what you want and incorporate your own ideas while being true to yourself. It can be intimidating to create photos that are so personal, but having your own voice is essential. One caveat: you may not receive the acclaim you hoped for, but it will be your point of view, and hence unique.

Cover the art equipment with a lid for your own safety

Artists utilize a lot of chemicals, so stay safe. Install an extractor fan and keep all solvents covered. It doesn’t mean a product isn’t hazardous just because it has no odor. Look at the nutrition label. If you generate a lot of dust or varnish your work, wear gloves to protect your skin and a mask to protect your face.

Expand your Knowledge

Examine the skills of other artists, go to museums and galleries, watch DVDs and YouTube demos, study periodicals and books, look at internet blogs, and attend workshops. It’s never too late to learn something new.
